I. The Sword in the Anvil

Long ago a king called Uther Pendragon ruled all of Britain. Two men helped him more than anyone else. One was Merlin, a wise old magician who could sometimes see the future. The other was Sir Ulfius, a brave knight and a great leader in war.

King Uther married a gentle lady called Igraine. She was a widow, and she had two daughters from her first marriage, Margaise and Morgana le Fay. When Morgana was young, Merlin taught her magic, and she became a famous witch.

After a while Uther and Igraine had a son, a big, strong baby. But one day Merlin came to the King with a serious face. “My lord,” he said, “I can see that you will soon fall ill with a fever. You may die. Then your enemies will try to take this child.
