The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart

5.0

I sometimes manage to forget what an excellent writer Mary Stewart was, since the plots of her rather Gothic mysteries are so engaging that you can plow through them without considering the writing. But in her Arthurian books it is so very obvious what excellently written and plotted books they are--don't get me wrong, they are just as engaging as the mysteries, but since they're longer, the quality really makes itself felt.
