Mary Stewart?s The Crystal Cave
The Crystal Cave, begins in medieval Wales in the kingdom of Maridunum. The story then moves to Brittany, or Lesser Britain. He then comes back to Wales, then, the rest of Greater Britain, ending up in Cornwall. Myrddin Emyrs, also known as Merlin Ambrosius was the child to the King?s daughter and the main character. Myrddin is the name of a god; Emyrs, or Ambrosius, means "child of light," and Merlin is the name of Roman bird of prey. As a child, he had the Sight and a talent for remaining unnoticed while he gained information. This miraculous young man, went through a great deal. He experienced danger, magic, and even the fear of losing control of his life to his enemies. Yet could this all be an exaggeration, a tall tale, nothing but a legend? I say that every legend has a beginning, origins can be tacked to every incredible event that a legendary hero go through. The legend of King Arthur is perhaps the greatest myth of them all. It found ready echoes across Western Europe, and even further afield, in medieval times. Parsifal and the Holy Grail story are among the tales that have accumulated around the main legend, and testify to the widespread fascination of the myth for many famous writers from the Middle Ages onwards.
