THE LAST ENCHANTMENT The Arthurian Saga, Book 3

Narrator Derek Perkins employs a conversational tone in this new production of the third book in Stewart's renowned Arthurian saga. Merlin resumes his story with the coronation of Arthur, the king whom Merlin believes will be able to unite the kingdom. Perkins illuminates the evolving role of Merlin as teacher, prophet, and advisor to Arthur in their dialogue and in the long passages in which Merlin recounts events, political developments, and the growing lore about the king. As Merlin ruminates upon events in his own life and his waning powers, Perkins adopts a reflective attitude tinged with sadness as well as full confidence that his apprentice will serve Arthur faithfully.
