The Land of Twydell & the Dragon Egg, Book 2 in the Tales of Avalon series
The Land of Twydell
& the Dragon Egg, is the second book
in the Tales
of Avalon Series.
What happened during
Merlin’s trip to Twydell? Who, or what, did he meet? The Land of
Twydell and the Dragon Egg, describes the wizard’s extraordinary
adventures in Avalon’s neighbouring country and the people and creatures he
meets there.
As he flies across
the countryside on his broomstick he is puzzled to see a long line of people
leaving the capital of Dalton and heading towards the outlying villages. Entire
families are leaving the capital. They look ragged and downcast and appear to
be taking their possessions with them. As he approaches Dalton, Merlin is
shocked to see billowing smoke and that large parts of the city have been
destroyed by fire.
The wizard learns
that the devastation has been caused by a pair of dragons which have lived near
the city for many years without any problem. King Frederrick is bewildered as
to why the dragons should suddenly seek to attack the Twydellers for no
apparent reason.
Merlin agrees to
help the Twydellers and sets off on an unexpected adventure which brings him in
contact with dragons and other strange creatures. He also renews his friendship
with an old friend and is delighted to meet new ones.
If you like stories
about magical beings then you will enjoy reading The Land of
Twydell & The Dragon Egg.
Daisy Bourne’s exciting Tales of Avalon Series continues with The Land of Twydell and the Dragon Egg. This sequel continues the saga of Merlin and King Arthur.
The Land of Twydell is an engaging story that readers will enjoy whether they are followers of the series or first-time readers.
Bourne’s writing packs a lot of action in such a short novel. The Land of Twydell is fast- paced and the dialogue is compelling throughout the novel.
The Land of Twydell would be perfect for readers who are fans of Lord of the Rings or other fantasy novels about odysseys and journeys. Young adult readers may be the target audience, but readers of all ages will love this novel. --Pacific Book Review
The story is filled with magic and adventure. The concepts are simple enough for a young child to understand, yet complex enough to keep minds working on linking all the pieces together. Language used is also accessible to younger readers without necessarily “talking down” to them. Even in the world of magic and mystery, manners and respect turn out to be the greater forces at work, providing children with important life lessons without being preachy or lecturing. --US Review of Books

Author Bio
– About the Author Daisy Bourne was born in England, in 1917.
Nothing much is known about her real parents, except that their lives were
changed dramatically by the First World War. At the age of six, Daisy was
unofficially adopted by a farmer and his wife. They changed her name and took
her to Canada. There are several similarities between the real Daisy Bourne and
her namesake in this book. To a small child, Canada, with its heavy snowfalls,
huge forests, and grizzly bears, must indeed have seemed like some kind of new
world. Although Daisy loved Canada and the farm on which she lived, she was not
happy and ran away. She returned to England at the age of 16. In later life,
she took up farming again. She also enjoyed her garden and preserving much of
its produce. This is where the similarities between the real Daisy and the
character in this book end. I am proud to use my mother’s birth name as a
pseudonym when writing the Tales of Avalon series. My ambition is to one day
write the story of the real Daisy Bourne. In the meantime, I shall work to
complete the other seven books in the Tales of Avalon series
