The Once & Future King
Author: T. H. White
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551999145
Category : Fiction
Languages : en

The definitive modern take on the timeless tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round table.

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. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.
