“They had not known a city could be so beautiful. The streets were smooth as stone. Beside each house was a garden of trees and flowers. In on e garden they saw a peacock with a tail like a great fan…They passed many people on the way. Children were playing beside a fountain. Men and women were going in and out of shops…They came to King Arthur’s castle. The walls and towers were of smooth white stone. For a long time Magnus looked up at the towers…they look as high as the sky…Guards walked back and forth before the castle gate.”
“Shan looked at the market place. He asked for work at a baker’s. The baker sent him to a tailor. The tailor sent him to a shoemaker.”
