The extraordinary story of a boy called Wart – ignored by everyone except his tutor, Merlin – who goes on to become King Arthur.
T.H. White’s masterful retelling of the Arthurian legend is an abiding classic. *The Once and Future King*, contains all five books about the early life of King Arthur (*The Sword in the Stone , The Witch in the Wood , The Ill-Made Knight, The Candle in the Wind* and *The Book of Merlyn*).
Exquisite comedy offsets the tradegy of Arthur’s personal doom as White brings to life the major British epic of all time with brilliance, grandeur, warmth and charm
