The Book of Merlyn: The Unpublished Conclusion to the Once and Future King by T.H. White

4.0

Of the 5 books in this series, this one is the most philosophical, and has very little story (for good reason). White postulates on various legends of Arthur's end, as well as disclosing the end for Lancelot and Guinevere. "The Book of Merlyn" is primarily a discourse on different ways to govern mankind (or not govern it as the case may be) and how that compares to the governance among the animals (lower mammals, insects, fowl, etc.) It is definitely interesting to consider and comes from an unusual viewpoint. It is understandable why this book was rejected by a publisher in 1942,

when it purports to reject all forms of government in favor of anarchy and looking out only for the individual.

This could make for an interesting book club discussion.
