Looking at the cover of this book; I thought ' Ah, a story about Merlin - the great magician '. You see, I am into articles involving Merlin. When I opened the book; I was greeted with symbols and pictures; I had no idea why they were here... Until I reached the end of the book, and saw the 'Rules and Conditions to entry'... What I had here was a puzzle book, and a bllody good puzzle at that!!!Obiviously, I gave up on the puzzle ages ago, but I am still fascinated by the text on the back cover of the book... It is said that this puzzle can be solved equally by a determined child as an expert puzzler... I would like to meet this determined child.Nethertheless, a great story; it's a pity I got distrcted by all the symbols.
THIS BOOK RULES

This book rules! I bought it yesterday, and it is sitting on my computer desk as I am typing. I went to a party and stayed up all night with my friends attempting to solve it. I just went to the website; it wasn't much help. My advice : ye of little patience, do not buy this book.
Superb detail and intrigue.

This is the best treasure hunt book to print in years. It features exquisitely detailed and colorful pictures, as well as the fiendish, MENSA approved puzzle of the Pendragon Alchemy. A great grab for the seasoned puzzler and the child alike.
A true test. The illustrations are unsurpassed.

This is truly the first challenging mystery that I have ever encountered. It is only enhanced by the superb illustrations. The story of Merlin and Nimue is truly timeless and tragic. If only the magic had not been lost. Or has it?
