Product description
An enchanting take on the legend of King Arthur from War Horse author and former Children’s Laureate, Michael Morpurgo.
Marooned on a sandbank, a boy faces certain death. With the sea closing in and the current about to drag him to a watery grave, his final wish is to see heaven. Waking in a strange bed, the boy meets an old man sitting by the fire with his dog. It is Arthur, the great warrior king of legend, and from his lips the boy hears of Camelot, chivalry, magic, evil and betrayal.
Arthur, High King of Britain is a gripping historical adventure from the master storyteller of An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Shadow, and An Elephant in the Garden. Michael Morpurgo has written more than forty books and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children’s Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.

on 20 October 2013A great book to lose yourself in, I can read it forever and add my own thoughts and backstories to it. It’s great for a quick getaway from the real world. Recommended. Four stars.

Not Impressed
My daughter has been given this book to read at school. She is 10. The repetitive use of the word 'bastard' whether in context or not is completely inappropriate and unnecessary. There are large proportion of children whose parents are unmarried these days!
Scholastic: Please note that we advise that this book is suitable for ages 12-14 years, therefore would not advise that this book is suitable for your daughter's age.
