Clyde Robert Bulla

    9 januari 1914 – 23 mei 2007

    Clyde Robert Bulla bezat een aangeboren drang om te schrijven vanaf zeer jonge leeftijd, waarbij hij tijdens zijn schooltijd verhalen, toneelstukken en poëzie creëerde. Na de eerste afwijzingen leidden zijn vasthoudende inspanningen tot publicatie, waardoor hij zich uiteindelijk vestigde als een gevierd auteur, met name in de kinderliteratuur. Zijn werk duikt vaak in de uitdagingen van aanpassing aan nieuwe omgevingen en de persoonlijke voldoening die gevonden wordt in het creëren van een eigen ruimte voor expressie.

      Viking Adventure
    • Best-selling author Clyde Robert Bulla's classic, finely-crafted Arthurian tale with its sword fights, dark and dangerous dungeon, roguish knaves, action-packed showdowns and tales of dangerous feats, will appeal to emerging readers who are ready for chapter books and reluctant tween readers alike. In the days of King Arthur there stood a mighty oak tree within the walls of a castle. Peace reigned in the castle until the fearsome night when Lionel, long-lost brother of Lord Weldon, returned to cause trouble and unhappiness. It was then that Shan, the son of Lord Weldon, took on the duties of a knight and hid the sword in the hollow of the giant oak. The days that followed were filled with adventures that tried the courage of the young boy. Shan was surprised by bearded robbers in the woods. He met noble knights in plumed helmets, and eventually he even made a trip to high-towered Camelot. His story is filled with the pageantry and color of England in King Arthur's time. It creates a vivid picture of the Knights of the Round Table and the wisdom of King Arthur himself.
