EXCALIBUR
BOOK 1 IN THE ARTHUR CHRONICLES SERIES
PETER GIBBONS
For Mike Duggan. Who kept a lad on the straight and narrow.
Now when his youthful strength had increased, and a noble desire for command burned in his young breast, he remembered the valiant deeds of heroes of old, and as though awakening from sleep, he changed his disposition and gathering bands of followers took up arms; […] when he had devastated the towns and residences of his foes, their villages and fortresses with fire and sword, and gathered together companions from various races and from all directions, [he]… amassed great booty.
