1977 The Sword In The Stone - T. H. White (Fontana Lions) Paperback nice clean copy
The Sword in the Stone by T. H. White is a classic fantasy novel first published in 1938. It tells the enchanting story of the young Arthur—known simply as “Wart”—before he becomes the legendary King Arthur. Under the eccentric guidance of the wizard Merlin, who experiences time backwards, Wart learns wisdom, courage, justice, and compassion through a series of magical adventures, often transformed into different animals to understand the world from new perspectives.
Blending humour, imagination, and timeless life lessons, the novel reimagines Arthurian legend with warmth and wit. It later became the opening volume of White’s celebrated Arthurian masterpiece, The Once and Future King, and inspired generations of readers, including Disney’s animated adaptation.
