Arthur: the Seeing Stone
This spellbinding story is a tale of two Arthurs. One, Arthur de Caldicot, is a boy living in the Welsh Marches in 1199; the other is his legendary namesake. As young Arthur looks into the seeing stone given him by his father's friend Merlin, he begins to find secrets in his own life that mysteriously parallel the stories of King Arthur.
