The Mooncalfe

By David Farland

 

The Mooncalfe is a novella and the name of the child of Merlin.  This story is so short that I don’t want to go into much detail as it might spoil it for you.  Quick overview because most of you know the tale.  Uther wearing a glamour spun by Merlin poses as Duke Gorlois to gain entry to Tintagel castle and bed the Lady Igraine.  Merlin wearing a glamour making himself look like one of the Dukes men…Sir Jordans, gets bored and randy sitting at the feasting table.  He uses his wiles to take a serving woman and get her with child.  Arthur and Mooncalfe are produced that night.  This tale follows the growth to womanhood of Mooncalfe.

Excellent crafting and editing.  Four out of five units of gratitude.
