The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White
3.0
Disney’s animated Sword in the Stone has me spoiled. It’s funny and exciting and one of my favorites of my childhood. But Oh My Onomatopoeia…this book was boring by comparison! I’m sorry, but even the magical animal transformations lost my interest after a while. And the narrator kept interjecting “modern” explanations that only really make sense to people alive in the 30s and 40s. It takes you out of the flow of the story in an annoying way.
I’ve been wanting to read a King Arthur story for some time, and I’ve been on a mission to read more classics. I’m actually reading this as a 5-book compilation, but since it’s very slow going—and, honestly, I may not finish—I decided to mark the completion of book one.
