by T.H. White

The whole world knows and loves this book. It is the magical epic of King Arthur and his shining Camelot; of Merlyn and Owl and Guinevere; of beasts who talk and men who fly; of wizardry and war. It is the book of all things lost and wonderful and sad. it is the fantasy masterpiece by which all others are judged.

At least, that’s what the back of the book says. I don’t know what to say - I haven’t read this yet! Of course, I’ve heard of it, but I’m kind of skeptical about it being the ‘masterpiece by which all others are judged’ - what do you think?
