A look at the mythical roots in art and literature of Merlin, the archetypal wizard, Welsh and Celtic in origin but with connections across the water in Cornwall and middle Europe.

A look at the mythical roots in art and literature of Merlin - magician, hero and historical mystery. Merlin is the archetypal wizard, Welsh and Celtic in origin but with connections across the water in Cornwall and middle Europe, and, of course, the Arthurian legends. Clearly, Merlin is the distant relative of Dumbledore and all those weird and wonderful wizards in literature.
