Klappentext

**'This book feels as though I could have pulled it, dust-coated, from a half-forgotten shelf. A true feast of myth and wonder . . . I grinned, I cried, I didn't want to put it down and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished'**
Freya Marske, bestselling author of A Marvellous Light

From the author of *The Magician's Daughter* comes a captivating historical fantasy where dreams come to life and Arthurian legends are reborn.**

Wales, 1941. As the second world war ravages the globe and bombs fall from the sky, people all over the world begin to dream of King Arthur. The dreams spread like a fantastical plague, flooding people's sleep night after night. Whispers arise of wonders and unexplained sights - dragons in the London Underground, and strange lights over Stonehenge. Self-proclaimed prophets claim they are miracles, heralding Arthur's return at the time of Britain's greatest need.

Elaine Ambrose has never dreamed of Arthur, and she doesn't believe in miracles. A librarian at the British Museum, she wants only to protect the museum's collection from the Blitz, and is frustrated to be sent instead to catalogue a reclusive professor's private library on the coast of North Wales. But all is not as it seems. Soon Ellie must confront what she's tried to ignore: she dreams not of Arthur, but of Nimue - the Lady of the Lake. And her dreams promise not salvation, but a return to the darkness of the last days of Camelot.

**'A dreamy, achingly beautiful tale about the power of stories. The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood imagines the magic and legend of the Arthurian age as a bright light, thrust into the darkness of World War II. Beautifully conceived and impossible to put down'**
Morgan Ryan, author of A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES
