Arthur, infant son of an ailing king, is whisked away in the dead of night to a new life and a new family to escape the king's dangerous successors. After watching the kingdom fall into chaos after the king's death, Merlin the Magician conjures up the test of the sword in the stone, a test to identify the true king of England and restore peace to the land. Will it succeed?
This young reader's edition of the centuries-old Celtic tale about a young king and the first of his many wondrous adventures captures the excitement of the classic story in ordinary full-colour illustrations.
