Summary: A Wonderful Piece of Wizardry
Comment: The Book of Merlyn was an incredible book, once again proving the genius of T.H. White. This book is the only sensible conclusion to the Once and Future King and should have been included in the original printing. In The Book of Merlyn, we revisit King Arthur on the night before his final battle with his son, Mordred. Feeling dejected and alone, Arthur's mentor, the lovably eccentric and ingenious Merlyn, returns and whisks the king away to learn two final lessons from the animals he knew as a child. This book is not merely a childish fairytale, but rather an in-depth dissection of human nature in which the human condition is explored in depth and the ever-elusive meaning of life is hinted at. A book for the serious reader or any serious fan of Arthur and Merlyn, The Book of Merlyn is a masterpiece from the mind of one of the greatest writers of the past one hundred years.

Summary: a lost chapter to an epic!!!
Comment: The Book of Merlyn is like a lost chapter out of white's larger work, the once and future king...here King Arthur meets his tutpr Merly for the last time yo find the antidote to war....I think TH White was planning this book to be in "The Once And Future King", but instead took two chapters out of this volume and wove them into "The Sword In The STone" part as found in his larger work... the book of merlyn makes more sense if read right after the once and future king; on it own it is still a good read, but not quiete up par with the other books as found in White's once and future king; although the last few pages are very touching and deserve a place in the larger work...

Summary: Believing in Camelot
Comment: White packs the politics and philosophy into Book of Merlyn, but if you believe that Might doesn't make Right, his foray into analyziing human conflict is welcome.
Still, there is plenty of moments in the Book of Merlyn that capture White's wonderful magical voice that permeates the Once and Future King.
It's a shame White never got it included with the full book.
