Middleton, Haydn

Island of the mighty Haydn Middleton ; illustrated by Anthea Toorchen - Oxford Oxford University Press 1987 - 80 p. ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm. - Oxford myths and legends .

Here's a fresh and readable retelling of the Welsh legends--a story of giants and kings, of mysterious Celtic magic, enchanted castles, Old King Cole, Merlin the eternal magician, and the promise of a once and future king. This is the story of Britain beyond the mists of history, when it was known as Island of the Mighty. Full color and black and white illustrations combine with the text to appeal to young readers while retaining the power and poetry of the old stories.
