Aimed primarily at the 8-12 market there is enough about the books that they will probably appeal to the adult reader as well. The books are extremely slim (around 90 pages a piece) so they are more glimpse into the story than a fully fledged epic. Each an simple sketch into the boy who would become the most famous wizard ever. If you have an hour or two to spare and enjoy Arthurian tales (or even just a light fantasy) then these could be definitely worth your time!

The falconry references are reminiscent of T. H. White’s own obsessive use of the sport in The Once and Future King. It also reflects that our wizard’s namesake, a “merlin,” is a small hawk, also known as a pigeon hawk (the titular term “passager” refers to a young hawk captured after living its first year wild.)
Yolen’s book also tells of a lesser recounted detail of English history, as many children were abandoned in the woods to perish or fend for themselves, because their parents could not care for them. Merlin is abandoned for more complicated reasons, but it is still a glimpse of the terror that so many children must have had to ordeal.
This is a quick read, but it language and imagery will be sure to stick with you, as well as a believable interpretation of Camelot’s wizard. ( )
