The Hollow Hills

The Arthurian Saga, Book 2

By: Mary Stewart

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

The spellbinding, suspenseful story of how Merlin, the Enchanter, helped Arthur become the king of all Britain - a magnificent novel set in a time when no life is safe, no law stable.

Keeping watch over the young Arthur Pendragon, the prince and prophet Merlin Ambrosius is haunted by dreams of the magical sword Caliburn, which has been hidden for centuries. When Uther Pendragon is killed in battle, the time of destiny is at hand, and Arthur must claim the fabled sword to become the true High King of Britain.

The prophetic voice of Merlin communicates not only the bristling atmosphere of the story's ancient setting, but also its profound relevance to our own time. Once again, as she did in her best-selling The Crystal Cave, Mary Stewart provides a glowing recreation of pre-Camelot England.

Superb writing!

Mary Stewart’s skill at bringing the reader into the story is legendary, but it rises to new heights in this book!

Amazing book

I’m not sure what makes it so special but the Mary Stewart books ring so true of history, imagination and beauty. The narrator does a masterful job. Truly a treasured book .

great story telling

I live the development of Arthur bad a kid. Excellent storyline and realistic fantasy.

Even better than The Crystal Cave!!!

This series just keeps getting better with each progressive book...I can't wait until The Last Enchantment!!!

Wonderful Sequel to The Crystal Cave

This is a "re-reader", a book I've enjoyed more than once. I've always loved the Arthurian legends, and Mary Stewart whisks us into the mists of time with her 3 book series. I tend to devour these, non-stop, as if they were bags of crisps. Character development is so well done that each person comes alive. It is Merlin who tells and who drives the story. Rest up before you start reading as you'll find it hard to put down. Enjoy!
