The Dragon Stone: A Tale of King Arthur, Merlin & Cabal

The Dragon Stone-A Tale of Arthur, Merlin & Cabal, is the medievel story of King Arthur, narrated by his faithful dog, Cabal. The author combines several of his chief enthusiasms--his preoccupation with the Middle Ages, his fascination with the story of Arthur, and his love and respect for dogs. Cabal, one of the story's central figures, originates in the numerous references to King Arthur's dog that are found in some of the earliest surviving examples of Arthurian literature. Unfortunatly, Cabal - in contrast to Merlin and the Lady of the Lake, or Excalibur and the Holy Grail, has been largely forgotton. If every dog must have his day, as the old saying goes, then it is high time that Cabal, King Arthur's valiant (and verbal)dog, should have his. The Dragon Stone is intended for readers aged 10-14. But the novel is entirely appropriate for any reader who loves the story of King Arthur, or who shares the author's deep affection for dogs, or who may still feel just a little bit young at heart.
