The Mythmakers by Tamzin Merchant is a richly imaginative paperback fantasy adventure that expands the magical world connected to The Hatmakers. In this enchanting story, Merchant reimagines the young lives of Merlin, Arthur, and Guinevere, weaving myth, magic, and danger into an epic quest across ancient Britain.

The story follows Gwyn, who would rather wield a wooden sword than behave like a proper lady. When she meets a wild and powerful young Merlin, their path quickly crosses with Arthur, and together they are drawn into a dangerous journey involving giants, witches, mermaids, unicorns, and a growing threat to the very roots of magic.

Tamzin Merchant combines legend, heart, and inventive worldbuilding in a way that feels both timeless and fresh. The Mythmakers is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy middle grade fantasy, Arthurian lore, magical quests, and adventurous stories filled with courage, friendship, and wonder.
