The Once and Future King series by T.H. White is a long-standing classic, loved by generations and generations, about the legend of King Arthur's life.

The classics were first published in the 1930s by Collins, and have since been reimagined, illustrated and reissued several times. The books are a true lesson in Arthurian legends, from King Arthur's training with the wizard Merlyn, the legends of the Round Table, the forbidden love of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere and the destruction of Camelot. If you love enjoy stories full of action and adventure, these are the books for you – perfect to read aloud to younger children or middle-grade confident readers.
