Well, here we are at last – the seventh knight rises, just as the others thought the battle was over. My final choice may not be entirely surprising to those that have followed this blog series from the start, but it is the one I’m sticking with.

Mary Stewart’s Merlin Trilogy

Telling the story of the enchanter Merlin, from his early childhood as the bastard (and seemingly fatherless) son of a Welsh Princess, to his final years as a man grown old before his time – Mary Stewart’s Merlin series may just be the phenomenal writer’s magnum opus.  

Filled with the kind of beautiful pros anyone familiar with Stewart’s work has come to expect, this series gives us a look into a far more grounded Arthurian world than is normally portrayed. And most amazing of all, it manages to do so without making its subject boring, cynical , or depressing.

For anyone looking into why people are still drawn to tales of Merlin, Arthur and his knights of the round table – I would recommend this series above anything else.
