Book 3: The Ill-made Knight is astounding storytelling as Lancelot, Guenever, Arthur, the Grail Quest and the lofty ideals of Arthur’s Knight’s Round Table stumble and unravel into a new era.

Book 2: The Queen of Air and Darkness: This book explores Arthur as a new King. It lays the foundations of Arthur's future, introducing those who will result in his downfall. At first, this felt to be familiar territory like Malory's Le Morte d’Arthur, but it is brimming with White's deeply contextual modern references, through Arthur and Merlyn's discussions on the rights and wrongs of war. Wonderful writing!

Book 1 The Sword in the Stone: 25 years since I first read this medieval madness and it still makes me laugh. T H White’s capacity for silliness (Merlyn knitting his beard into his night-cap) contrasted with philosophical awe in of some of my favourite examples of nature writing in Wart’s (Arthur’s) time spent transformed into animals and his observations from those perspectives. Clever, witty and profound.
