Description:
The figure of Merlin has fascinated generations weaned from nursery rhymes to the tales of King Arthur. The combination of chivalry and marvel that these tales evoke has stimulated imaginations from the moment Merlin was yoked to Arthurian legend in the twelfth century by Geoffrey of Monmouth. Merlin is in the public domain. He has long since entered that nonverbal space of consciousness which is the spawning ground of new fictional creations in archetypal modes; to paraphrase the myth critic Joseph Campbell, he is 'the wizard with a thousand faces.'
