The world of Arthur, Merlin and Camelot is very popular at the moment, and this book will be warmly welcomed. It is well written, fast-paced and exciting, with just enough detail of the time, place and beliefs to provide a convincing background to the adventures. Having a girl as the main character is an intriguing angle for an era of knightly chivalry, battles and quests, and it is excellent news that Rhianna will continue her exploits in a further three books as she seeks the Lance, the Crown and the Grail.
Everybody ought to read [[The Sword in the Stone by T H White]], the classic King Arthur story, and [[Here Lies Arthur by Philip Reeve]] is also well recommended. You might also appreciaTE [[Frogspell by C J Busby]] which is suitable for children just beginning to read books all by themselves. {{amazontext|amazon=1848773900}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=1848773900}}
