A review by nicktomjoe
The Book of Merlyn: The Unpublished Conclusion to The Once & Future King by T.H. White
4.0
A book with images and characters I dearly love. A sprawling mess of part parable, part attempt to resolve the Arthur legend, and in a large part White writing to explore his own pacifism in the face of the totalitarian shadows of the 1940s.
Superb illustrations by Trevor Stubley and (such is the compendium of different styles of writing) some of the most sublime nature writing in the period - and a rambling, uncertain, witty and tragic exploration of what it means to try to be human.
