highly recommended

A novel about the court of King Arthur, which was the basis for the movie "Camelot".

An Arthurian Masterpiece

This is the book that introduced me to the Arthur cycle. Ever since I read it three years ago I've been obsessed with the subject.
Even if you ignore all of the great Arthurian books out there this one is nothing short of a masterpiece.
I'm reading it now for the fourth time,and it just keeps getting better.
It's a beautifully told epic that will stick with you long after you finish it. White delivers a funny, touching,witty,tragic, and enthralling fantasy that may just open you up to the joy of the Arthur cycle.
While it's based on Malory's epic, White manages to boldly carve his name into the legacy of storytellers that goes back almost a thousand years.
If you plan on reading anything in the near future, take a chance on this triumph of English literature.

creative, rich and wonderful

I loved how detailed and orginal the story was. It's like T.H. White instead of trying to tell the complete story of King Arthur, takes little snippets of the parts he thought were particularly interesting or wonderful and makes them beautiful and rich with life and meaning. His words are full of love and light.The Once and Future King

How I wish I was thirteen again ...

... And able to read T. H. White's admirable rendition of the Legend of Arthur for the first time.

Alas, I am only able to experience this vicariously, having given the book to my nephew some time ago. Also, alas, I fear too late, as he has wanted to follow the modern path of fast things with wheels.

(But he may yet learn of the magic of Merlyn, and the mystery of the sword, Excalibur).

Mr. White's rendition is at once easy to read, and deeply insightful, sometimes darkly so, taking us from Arthur as a young lad, to Arthur ruling uneasily in Camelot.

Highly recommended to anyone who is young, or young at heart. Read it to your children or grandchildren, if you must.
