This book feels as though I could have pulled it, dust-coated, from a half-forgotten shelf. A true feast of myth and wonder . . . I grinned, I cried, I didnt want to put it down and I havent stopped thinking about it since I finishedFreya Marske, bestselling author of A Marvellous LightDive into an atmospheric and captivating historical fantasy about the power of stories, where dreams come to life and Arthurian legends are reborn.Wales, 1941. As the second world war ravages the globe and bombs fall from the sky, people all over the world begin to dream of King Arthur. The dreams spread like a fantastical plague, flooding peoples sleep night after night. Whispers arise of wonders and unexplained sights - dragons in the London Underground, and strange lights over Stonehenge. Self-proclaimed prophets claim they are miracles, heralding Arthurs return at the time of Britains greatest need.Elaine Ambrose has never dreamed of Arthur, and she doesnt believe in miracles. A librarian at the British Museum, she wants only to protect the museums collection from the Blitz, and is frustrated to be sent instead to catalogue a reclusive professors private library on the coast of North Wales. But all is not as it seems. Soon Ellie must confront what shes tried to ignore: she dreams not of Arthur, but of Nimue - the Lady of the Lake. And her dreams promise not salvation, but a return to the darkness of the last days of Camelot. A dreamy, achingly beautiful tale about the power of stories. The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood imagines the magic and legend of the Arthurian age as a bright light, thrust into the darkness of World War II. Beautifully conceived and impossible to put downMorgan Ryan, author of A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES
