Before there was a famous king named Arthur, there was a curious boy named Wart and a kind old wizard named Merlyn.
Transformed by Merlyn into the forms of his fantasy, Wart learns the value of history from a snake, of education from a badger, and of courage from a hawk--the lessons that help turn a boy into a man.
Together, Wart and Merlyn take the reader through this timeless story of childhood and adventure--The Sword in the Stone.
