S3E16 Today we discuss the delightful first entry in T.H. White's Arthurian epic The Once and Future King. A novel "unique in it's creation of a childhood for King Arthur" (here nicknamed the Wart), The Sword in the Stone shows the future King of England receiving tuition from Merlyn. Join us for talk about favourite childhood reads, missing cannibals and tyrant pike.
