I remember watching Disney's The Sword in the Stone as a kid and a few times since and loving it. I never knew it was just the beginning of a monumental journey of the soul. TH White's The Once and Future King is by far and wide one of the greatest stories ever told. With Merlin as his teacher, young Arthur learns the preciousness of nature and it's magic not just by words, but by actually becoming birds and fish and speaking with many animals. He learns about honor and compassion, justness and courage, all things that make a great leader. The books (5 in all) tell of chivalry and magic, tragedy and victory with many extraordinary characters both animal and Human. Each book within the book is moving, exciting, beautifully written and told. It encompasses spirituality in ways that do not preach, but that give guidlines to the inner soul, the torments and the joys of Humanity. A bookshelf is not complete without this king of books in it's midst.Read full review

Well worth reading or re reading if like me you read it years ago. Retells the story of King Arthur from his childhood days as Wart to his death. Funny and poignant.
