![]() This quartet of books is also, by turns, a comic Y.A. The Once and Future King is Malory put through a blender, with old familiar characters (hey, Lancelot!) given contemporary twists and motivations. But although White tips his hat to our man Mal, he doesn't parrot him. Basically, everything we popularly know about King Arthur and his knights comes from Malory. White got his Round Table on between 19: this novel is actually four novels in one, which is why it took twenty years to write.Īnd it's not just a straight-up re-telling of Malory-the earliest English writer to compile Arthur's story into a cohesive prose ( not in verse) story. ![]() ![]() White (stands for Terence Hanbury, which is swag) is one of the most significant and influential modern-day works of Arthurian literature (and yes, they're still trotting out King Arthur, even recently). Bust out your snazziest cosplay armor… because we're about to head off on a time-traveling and anachronistic Arthurian adventure. ![]()
