This book of advice, adapted from the author's 2013 Oxford University address, is presented as a conversational visit with the famous wizard Merlin. Summarizing life's experiences and mysteries in a few simple words, "Merlin" explores how gratitude, courage, knowledge, belief, wonder, generosity, hope, and love can help one create a meaningful existence. A purposive graduation gift for fans of Arthurian fantasy.
