The Book of Merlyn by T.H. White

3.0

---

This was originally supposed to be the fifth book in White's Once and Future King, but was published separately. Maybe I was more wide-eyed and apt to fall in love with White’s writing when I read Once and Future as a youngster; maybe Merlyn really isn’t as good. At any rate, I did not recall Once and Future being so darned preachy. I loved the hedgehog all the more in this volume just because he was quiet a good deal of the time. Still, the parts that had nothing to do with politics were genuinely moving and fit well into White’s Arthurian saga. Worth checking out if you’re a fan, possibly even if you’re not.
