Passage 1
The Good King Arthur
adapted from Myths and Legends of all Nations
by Logan Marshall
The boy Arthur was the son of King Uther
Pendragon, but Uther had given him into the
care of the enchanter Merlin, who had carried
him to the castle of Sir Hector.
Merlin was a very wise man, and when King
Uther died several years later, the noblemen
asked his advice in choosing a new king.
The enchanter only replied that he should
gather everyone together in St. Stephen's
Church in London on Christmas Day.
As directed, the knights assembled into the
churchyard; there they beheld a large block of
stone, upon which rested a heavy anvil. The
blade of a jeweled sword was sunk deeply into
the anvil.
