The Once and Future King by T.H. White

4.0

This book was really fun to read, except for the part where I slapped my head and said "ooh, why is Arthur so STUPID?!" "ooh, why is Guenever so stupid?!" and the same for out knight, Lancelot. He wasn't the brightest fellow.
But it made me laugh. I absolutely loved quoting phrases about the Questing Beast, and tacking "eh, wot" onto everything I said.

It's a good, entertaining story.
Oh, and Merlin's great, too.

This story is so beautiful. It has all the sweet love of a fairy tale, but in a darker, harsher setting.
My sister reads this book over and over again. I think I've read it 3 times. It's definitely worth reading multiple times.

So, I thought this book rather "flooshy" - just girly fluff and stuff, but I enjoyed it all the same.
Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down.
Who couldn't use a handsome prince saving a poor girl and making her into a princess every now and then?

I used to love this book! I would read it over and over, studying the illustrations, and imagining the whole scene in my mind.
I wonder what happened to it? I guess we read it til it fell apart. I think I'm going to have to buy another copy.

"Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs! It looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!"

From the sheer humor and adventure of Anne of Green Gables to the sad drama of war in Rilla of Ingleside, every single one of these books is excellent and unique.
