"Welcome to Martin Mere. We have a very special
reward for the first lucky person to find the rare and elusive Merlin bird..."
A school trip to Martin Mere. Arthur is a nerdy bird spotter, and his best friend, Lance, is trying that bit too hard to fit in with the cool kids.
Challenged to find the rare Merlin bird, Lance has to decide whether to stick by Arthur or betray him to his new gang.
The Boy, the Bird and the Sword is based on the legend of King Arthur, and is inspired by the Crossens Canoe, supposedly found near the mythical home of the Lady of the Lake.
