THE HOLLOW HILLS
The countryside of England and Wales in the Dark Ages forms an almost tangible background to this wonderfully and powerfully realised picture of an ancestral hero coming to manhood. The Hollow Hills is the brilliant portrayal of the young Arthur from his birth to his accession to the throne of Britain. And behind and around him is the strong, yet vulnerable figure of Merlin who sees and knows so much but is powerless to prevent the strife and violence of his turbulent times.
‘A considered, researched and gloriously imagined story of England and Wales in the Dark Ages’
‘Nobody can fail to find temporary enchantment here’
The Times
‘A rare gift for blending mysticism with historical accuracy. Altogether a delightful book’
The Scotsman
‘A real spell-binder’
