«At the Crossing Places» is the historical fantasy novel by Kevin Crossley-Holland, published by Orion Children's Books in paperback, in English.
Arthur de Caldicot becomes squire to Lord Stephen and prepares for the crusade: he trains with horse and armour, fears his biological father, seeks his mother and rescues Winnie de Verdon from a fire. After a murder, he discovers the sea, sails to France and takes the cross; his seeing stone reflects stories of King Arthur and the Round Table.
Second instalment of the Arthur trilogy; the 384-page edition appeared in June 2002. This novel was nominated for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award in 2005.
Aimed at young and adult readers who love medieval fantasy and Arthurian legends, with indicative interest from age 9.
Kevin John William Crossley-Holland is an English translator, children's author and poet. His best known work is probably the Arthur trilogy (2000–2003), for which he won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and other recognition.
