The Sword and the Staff

The Sword and the Staff - An Arthurian novel written by Jeffrey Robbins, focusing on Merlin, inspired by the Scrolls of Merlin adventure.

Jeffrey Robbins' following dictated notes on the book served as the epilogue to the Gargoyles episode A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time (although it is not known whether or not they are included in the published version of the book):

The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching, nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.
