Blurb - When the age old legend of King Arthur's battle for Good against the forces of Evil springs into life again in modern Cornwall, the three Drew children are caught in the thick of it. For it is they who find the mysterious manuscript in the attic of their holiday house, and that leads them through many dangers to Arthur's Grail, hidden for many ages over sea and under stone. Fortunately they have the protection of their impenetrable Great Uncle Merry who seems to know more about their oppressors than he is willing to reveal.
This is an adaption of the first book in the series known collectively as "The Dark is Rising" by Susan Cooper. A popular series of children's fantasy tales set in England and steeped in Celtic mythology.
