The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.

Based on medieval Arthurian legends, CliffsNotes on The Once and Future King is a twentieth-century version of young Arthur's quest for the sword Excalibur and his claim to the throne of England. Including many well-known and much-loved episodes with Merlyn, the sorcerer; Morgan La Fay, the witch; and knights jousting and hounds engaged in the hunt, White's novel adds to the lore surrounding the person of King Arthur.

This study guide covers all four volumes of The Once and Future King with special emphasis given to the most popular volume, The Sword in the Stone. Other features that help you study include Character analyses of major players Personal background of the author, T.H. White A critical essay on Arthurian films A review section that tests your knowledge A Resource Center full of books, articles, and Web sites

A Whole New Perspective

A few weeks ago I recieved my school reading list. I was happy that the Once and Future King was on it because I had already read it. I purchased the Cliff Notes. The refreshed my memory with out taking to much time. I also liked how they list the characters and what they did in the beginning of the book. That way if you forget you can always look it up. The comments that are contained also help widen my perspective on what the book means. I think that everyone who has read the book should purchase these cliff notes.


A great Help

I was sugested to read the book the once and future king. I did not know if I wanted to spend that much time on a book so I purchased the cliff's notes. After reading them I had to read the book and it was fabulas. The fact that I already knew what the book was about also helped me understand the book.

Not a Key to In-depth Study

Daniel Moran's Cliffs Notes on The Once and Future King is not as comprehensive as one could wish. The title is quite misleading and I was very disappointed to discover that the coverage of the later parts of the saga was so sparse and unhelpful.

Though the guide is helpful in studying the symbolism and satire present in first part of the story (The Sword in The Stone), only vague and unhelpful references to the second, third and fourth parts of the epic are present in this Cliffs Notes volume. This would be better titled Cliffs Notes on White's The Sword in The Stone.

I recommend this Cliffs Notes only if one wishes to study the Sword In The Stone; it's practically useless for the rest of the saga. In fact, I would probably rate this book at 2.5 stars but I don't have an option for fractional ratings, so I reluctantly give it a 3.
