The Blurb (www.goodreads.com)
This book is the magical epic of King Arthur and his shining Camelot; of Merlin and Owl and Guinevere; of beasts who talk and men who fly, of wizardry and war. It is the book of all things lost and wonderful and sad.
You remember that Disney movie, "The Sword in the Stone"? You remember how crazy it was, with a talking owl and a kid turning into a squirrel and a crazy wizard that talks too much? What most people don't know is that movie was based on this book, and when I say based on, I mean it copied the story almost exactly. What's more, that movie only covered the first part of this book, which goes on to become one of the most amazing tellings of King Arthur and his knights that I've ever read. And I really wish more people had heard of it.
