Mary Stewart
Mary Florence Elinor Stewart (born 1916) is a popular English novelist, best known for her series about Merlin, which straddles the boundary between the historical novel and the fantasy genre.
Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature: Best Novel winner (1971).
Born the bastard son of a Welsh princess, Myridden Emrys – or as he would later be known, Merlin – leads a perilous childhood, haunted by portents and visions. But destiny has great plans for this no-man's-son, taking him from prophesying before the High King Vortigern to the crowning of Uther Pendragon... and the conception of Arthur – king for once and always.
