Book Reviews of The Once and Future King, Complete Edition
Book Review: An epic delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Four books comprise this epic of the life of King Arthur, from his childhood, when Merlyn was teaching him to gain other perspectives by transforming him into animals (Disney had a field day with that one) to his future as king dealing with dark witches and double-crossing relatives and betrayal by Lancelot and Guinevere.
White has a dry sense of humor and many wonderful insights into human nature, as well as a deep understanding of the theory of swordsmanship and chivalry to imbue the adventures with a sense of historical accuracy. I love this kind of stuff, and The Once and Future King is a classic.
