You could try Diana Wynne Jones' book, 'The Tough Guide to Fantasyland'. It contains amusing definitions of all the kinds of things you're likely to encounter in a fantasy realm, from 'Adept' (One who has taken what amounts to the Postgraduate Course in magic. If a magic user is given this title, you can be sure she/he is fairly hot stuff. However, the title is neutral and does *not* imply that the Adept is either Good or Evil. Examine carefully each Adept you encounter and be cautious, even if she/he seems friendly. See 'Colour Coding' for the best way of telling friends from enemies) to 'Zombies' (These are just the Undead, except nastier, more pitiable, and generally easier to kill. When you slash your sword across their stomachs - which you inevitably do - they watch their impossibly decayed intestines pour out in a glob, then look at you with *an expression of ultimate pathos* before crumpling at the knees. Naturally they smell quite strongly). \n\nIt also contains a standard fantasy-world map, instructions on how to use the guide, and each alphabetical section is headed with an odd fantasy-like quote, such as:\n\n'Doras II was a somewhat absent-minded king. It is said that, when Death came to summon him, Doras granted Death the usual formal audience and then dismissed him from his presence. Death was too embarrassed to return until many years later.'\n\n- Ka'a Orto'o, Gnomic Utterances, LIV iii

This is what I found on-line...\n\nThe Crystal Cave, the first book of Mary Stewart's classic Arthurian saga, begins the tale of Merlin, long before he became a magician and a druid. From his conception, the unlikely offspring of a Welsh king's daughter and his enemy's son was more than he seemed.\n\nAs a child, he had the Sight and a talent for remaining unnoticed while he gleaned information. An intelligent and quick child, he often knew who was coming before they arrived. Merlin also knew when his uncle offered him a poisoned peach. This ability was dangerous, and led him to study the natural world with Galapas. The night that his grandfather died, Merlin was able to escape the tender mercies of his uncle Camlach by setting a fire to cover his escape.\n\nHe fled to Brittany, not entirely under his own power, and met with Ambrosius, a powerful man who planned to depose Vortigern to become King of Britain. Soon, he becomes a friend to Ambrosius, though seen as a rival by Uther, Ambrosius' brother and war leader. With his Sight and further training as a druid and an engineer, Merlin's brains are as vital to the campaign of Ambrosius as Uther's brawn.\n\nOn a reconnaissance trip to Wales, Merlin is brought to the attention of Vortigern. There, he proves Vortigern's advisers wrong, and with his engineering skills helps to build a wall that previously would not stand. So begins Merlin's rise as the power behind the throne of Britain. This book follows Merlin's exploits, and ends with the magic and trickery surrounding the conception of Arthur -- the bedding of Uther and Ygraine.\n\nThough Merlin's youth is surrounded in mystery and legend, Stewart crafts these tales into a winning novel that gives the reader a sense of Merlin as a person rather than as an icon of Arthurian legend. Mary Stewart begins her series with a lovely piece of fiction that stands well on its own as well as setting the stage for Camelot.

why don't you try www.mythman.com? I have found it very interesting especially since it is humorous and gives a modern twist on old legends(not that the old legends were boring in any way!).
