The Once and Future King
by T. H. White
White's masterful retelling of the King Arthur saga is as legendary a fantasy classic as Excalibur and Camelot, and a touching story of adventure, romance and magic that has captivated readers for generations. Once upon a time, a young boy named Worth was trained by a magician named Merlin and preparing for a future he could never have imagined. The future in which he will form an alliance with the greatest knights, love the legendary queen and unite the country dedicated to knightly values. A future that will crown him and will always be known as Arthur, the king of the English. During the reign of Arthur, when the kingdom of Camelot was established to throw enlightenment into the Dark Ages, the knights of the Round Table began to look for many nobles. But Merlin predicted the betrayal that awaited his liège: the forbidden love between Queen Guinevere and Lancelot, the evil conspiracies of Arthur Morgaus' half-sister, and the hatred in Mordred that would put an end to the king's dreams of England and the king himself. This volume also contains four books by King Arthur: "The Sword in the Stone", "The Witch in the Forest", "The Unhappy Knight" and "The Candle in the Wind".
