A review by dougk
The Once and Future King by T.H. White
5.0
Everything by TH White is worth reading, but this is probably his masterpiece. Flawed and eccentric, yes, but still better than any hundred other Arthurian retellings.
The first book is unabashed fun. After that it descends into sadness, and occasional incompletely-digested stodge from Mallory: but there are passages of great beauty throughout.
I can't read it anymore though. When I was young and strong the sadness was tolerable.
