Novel
A String in the Harp
- by Nancy Bond
- (Margaret K. McElderry, 1976)
Twelve-year-old Peter Morgan is not happy about being uprooted from Massachusetts and hauled off to a tiny coastal hamlet in Wales, but he is fascinated by the ancient harp key that he finds wedged between two cracks on a dike. Oh, did I mention that the key is magic, letting him (and eventually other children) see the legendary Welsh bard Taliesin? —Michael Main
I can tell you that the things you have seen and explained with reason could fit the story of Taliesin, though your sister would rather not hear it.
