The Crystal Cave: The Spellbinding Story of Merlin by Mary Stewart invites readers into a mesmerizing world filled with magic, history, and adventure. This enthralling narrative breathes life into the legendary figure of Merlin, set against the tumultuous backdrop of fifth-century Britain.
In this captivating tale, we meet young Merlin, the illegitimate son of a Welsh princess. Often overlooked due to his stature, Merlin’s journey is riddled with challenges as he navigates a world fraught with conflict and danger. His adventure takes a pivotal turn when he discovers a hidden cavern brimming with ancient tomes and luminous crystals, a sanctuary that holds the keys to his destiny.
Within the magical confines of the cave, Merlin encounters Galapas, his wise mentor, who teaches him to harness the mystical energies of the crystals. As Merlin learns to glimpse into the future, he begins to embrace his role as the destined advisor to King Arthur, yet he must first confront his own identity and destiny.
Join Merlin on this spellbinding journey as he uncovers the truths of his past and the magic that awaits in his future. Experience the allure of 'The Crystal Cave,' where legends are born and destinies are forged.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
