![]() ![]() ![]() Romantic-suspense novelist Mary Stewart dies aged 97 by Alison Flood, The Guardian.(from an interview with Mary Stewart by Raymond H. Then one day a friend said to me, everybody who is worth his salt has a Grail, and everybody’s Grail is different. Thank you Mary Stewart for sparking my love for the Arthurian tales. She was a supreme “teller of tales” and her magic brought Merlin and the whole Arthurian world to life in an utterly compelling way. What I (and millions of others) remember Mary best for is her series of Arthurian books The Merlin trilogy: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment – and the later volume on Mordred The Wicked Day. She became well-known for her stories blending mystery, romance, and suspense. This “came as naturally as leaves to a tree”, as she told The New York Times in 1979. Mary started her writing career as a poet, but her husband suggested she try storytelling. Her father, as a young adventurer, had sailed around Cape Horn to New Zealand, where he met and married Mary’s mother. ![]() Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow was born on Septemin Sunderland, County Durham, England.
