This modern classic of nature writing by the author of The Once and Future King was an inspiration for and featured in Helen Macdonald's prize-winning H Is for Hawk. "No hawk can be a pet. There is no sentimentality. In a way, it is the psychiatrist's art. One is matching one's mind against another mind with deadly reason and interest. One desires no transference of affection, demands no ignoble homage or gratitude. It is a tonic for the less forthright savagery of the human heart."

They stalk their prey from deep in the menacing shadows, poised and ready to strike at the penultimate moment. Their victims unexpecting, unaware, until they wake in dark rooms, dank basements, or on chilly floors stained with the rotting blood of other hapless victims. The stench fills their nostrils and permeates their pores, the bile rising up in their burning throats. They scream and try to escape, but all attempts are futile. Fear dances like spiders down their spines as they hear ominous footsteps approaching — their eyes spread wide in horror as they realize the end is near.

In Teil 3 von "Der König auf Camelot" geht es um den besten und berühmtesten Ritter der Tafelrunde: Sir Lanzelot. Zentrales Thema ist seine unglückliche - aber erwiderte - Liebe zu König Arthurs Frau, Königin Ginevra...

Die Königin von Luft und Dunkelheit erzählt von den Kämpfen des Königs mit den Clans der "Alten" und der Idee der Tafelrunde. Aber auch diesmal ist wieder viel Magie mit im Spiel: Einhörner, Aventiuren-Tiere und Zauber-Barken entführen in phantastische Abenteuer, die in einer folgenschweren Begegnung zwischen König Arthur und seiner Halbschwester Morgause, der Königin von Orkney, gipfeln.

Der König auf Camelot - wohl der witzigste und spannendste Ritterroman um König Arthur und seine Tafelrunde, um die mächtige Fee Morgan und den Zauberer Merlin und die endlose Suche nach dem Heiligen Gral...
