The winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the Smarties Prize bronze award in 2001, this timeless novel is stunningly reissued for a new generation. The year is 1199, the place the Welsh Marches.  Young Arthur de Caldicot is given a magical shining stone in which his legendary namesake is revealed.  In 100 short chapters that brilliantly evoke life in a medieval manor,  stories of the boy King Arthur begin to echo - and anticipate - the secrets and mysteries that emerge in his own life . . .   \"As bright and as vivid as the pictures in a Book of Hours. Deep scholarship, high imagination, and great gifts of storytelling have gone into this; I was spellbound.\" - Philip Pullman, The Guardian","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038507442359,"sku":"9780752844299","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9780752844299.jpg?v=1717447383","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780752844299","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
