This book is another that's part of a series, and while I know I read some of the others, this is the only one of the five books that I remember. I read it in fourth or fifth grade, and I remember that it was scary. It was a Newberry Honor Book in 1974, and like many great books for young people, it concerns the never-ending battle between the forces of good and evil. There are threads of Arthurian legend, Celtic and Norse mythology, and English folklore.
