I just finished reading The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White, and I must say that it has to be one of the best books I have ever read. For all you illiterates, the above book is about young King Arthur (then called the Wart, which rhymes with Art, which is short for his real name) and his adventures living in the castle of Sir Ector. He is taught by his tutor, the wizard Merlin, and in the process of learning all the boring stuff he is turned into several different animals and is able to defeat a giant, go on a rescue mission with Robin Hood, see a real live wizard's duel, and see a joust or two. Or three. The book culminates in the well known legend of him pulling the magic sword out of the magic anvil in the magic stone in the magic courtyard and thus fulfilling his destiny and becoming king of England and a future Knight of the Round Table.
I highly recommend this book for anyone, young or old, who is looking for action, comedy, peril, and the occasional sobering moment.
