Book 1 in the series of Arthurian legends - retold at an easy-to-read level for younger readers!
All Merlin knows is the village where he mixes potions for wary customers, and dreams strange dreams that sometimes come true. Then a mysterious hooded man appears, seeking a boy with no mortal father, and Merlin is taken far away, to a crumbling tower and a ruthless king. To a place where his is not the only magic.
About The Legends of the King Arthur series:
Epic battles, thrilling quests and forbidden love combine in the medieval story of the boy who would be king. A retelling of the Arthurian legends, adapted and illustrated to introduce children aged 7+ to classic folklore. Great to share aloud, just like the original tales. All titles have been leveled for classroom use, including GRLs.Please see our Reading section for leveled reading series such as I Can Read, Step Into Reading, and many more.
These familiar stories, written to a younger audience, take care to not be too scary and still tell tales of exciting adventures! Plenty of dragons and knights, castles and kings! Explore Tristan & Isolde (the inspiration for Romeo & Juliet), Lancelot, the Holy Grail, Gawain, Merlin, and Camelot. Black and white illustrations have a cartoon-look. I liked the extra space between lines in these chapter books. This series has a Lexile score of 700L and GRL of T.
