The Merlin of legend was born to be a magician. He was 'immaculately' conceived and was able to interpret dreams and utter prophecies. Even his fate was imbued with magic. Like Arthur, he acquired immortality and sleeps on Bardsey Island, in a subterranean chamber with nine companions. Ashe reveals the man behind the myth, establishing beyond doubt the historicity of a Welsh prophet called Myrddin Emrys. Despite his 'supernatural' status it is Merlin, of all the great characters of the Arthurian world, who has the strongest claim to have existed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780945723543,"sku":"9780750941501","price":1741.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780750941501.webp?v=1778049432","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/merlin-the-prophet-and-his-history-9780750941501","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
