Example Summary or Commentary
The Sword in the Stone, the first volume of The Once and Future King begins in the Merry England of the Middle Ages, although Eng- land is also known throughout the novel as “Gramarye.” In Sir Ector’s Castle of the Forest Sauvage, Sir Ector and his friend, Sir Grummore, discuss the need for a tutor to “eddicate” Sir Ector’s son (Kay) and ward (Art, nicknamed “the Wart”). Sir Ector decides to advertise for a tutor. After their chore of hay-making has been postponed due to rain, the two boys decide to go hawking in the Forest Sauvage, an immense wooded area that surrounds Sir Ector’s castle. Cully, a prize hawk, escapes from Kay’s grasp and Kay leaves the forest; the Wart stays and considers how to get Cully down from his high perch.
As darkness falls on the Forest Sauvage, the Wart is terrified when an arrow flies at him from an unseen assailant. However, Wart learns that the arrow was not intended for him; instead, it was shot by King Pellinore, who prowls the Forest Sauvage in search of the Beast Glati- sant (or “Questing Beast”). Before his clumsy and comical departure, King Pellinore explains the details of his quest to the Wart, who listens attentively.

After a month passes, Merlyn begins tutoring the His first lesson consists of turn- ing him into a perch.
