Book Of Merlyn by T. H. White

BOOK OF MERLYN BY T. H. WHITE is in stock at our shop in Chitose, Hokkaido.

This magical account of King Arthur's last night on earth spent weeks on the New York Times best-seller list following its publication in 1977.

Even in addressing the profound issues of war and peace, The Book of Merlyn retains the life and sparkle for which White is known. The tale brings Arthur full circle, an ending, White wrote, that "will turn my completed epic into a perfect fruit, 'rounded off and bright and done.'"


I have been reading ( and rereading) this remarkable book for nearly five decades. I consider it one of the formulative books of my youth and I must have read it over a dozen times. I continue to reference it consistently to this day. I think it is one of the seminal books of the 20th century.

"He knew suddenly that nobody, living upon the remotest, most barren crag in the ocean, could complain of a dull landscape so long as he would lift his eyes. In the sky there was a new landscape every minute, in every pool of the sea rocks, a new world. He wanted time off, to live."
