Synopsis: The definitive modern take on the timeless tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round table.
The legends of King Arthur date back to medieval Europe, and have become some of the dominant myths of Western culture. In The Once & Future King, T. H. White reinvents the story for a modern audience. The novel starts by introducing the reader to a young Arthur – just a child, and far from the King he will become – as he is raised by the wizard Merlyn, and moves on to chronicle his rise to Kingship, the affair between Guinevere and Lancelot, and the eventual destruction of the round table.
The first section, released independently as The Sword in the Stone, was adapted into an animated film by Walt Disney Pictures.
