At the Crossing Places

Kevin Crossley-Holland grew up in the English countryside at the foot of a high hill. While an undergraduate at Oxford University, he fell in love with the Middle Ages and Anglo-Saxon poetry-a passion now reflected in his many highly praised collections and retellings of medieval stories and myths. In 1985, he received the Carnegie Medal for his novel Storm, while The Seeing Stone, the first book in his Arthur trilogy, won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. It was also named an ALA Notable Book for Older Readers. The Arthur trilogy, which concludes with King of the Middle March, has won worldwide acclaim and is being published in twenty-one languages. It has already sold more than a million copies. Kevin and his wife, Linda, live on the coast of the North Sea in Norfolk, England.Crossley-Holland, Kevin is the author of 'At the Crossing Places', published 2004 under ISBN 9780439265997 and ISBN 0439265991.
