	The Book of Merlyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Merlyn reappears to complete Arthur's education and discover the cause of wars.
		White was inspired to write this book, upon his determining that the key theme of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur is to find an "antidote for war".
		Originally submitted for publication in 1941, due to wartime paper shortages, White was unable to convince his publisher to include The Book of Merlyn as part of the collected edition of The Once and Future King (which was first published in its entirety in 1958).

		Speaking in past, present and future references, as is his wont, Merlyn attempts to bring a measure of comfort and understanding to the old king.
		Merlyn stays true to his nature in that his account of the history of mankind is told backwards.
		After returning to the fellowship of Merlyn and his committee of animals, King Arthur is given time for only a short respite before he is thrust into the form of a goose.

		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.

		The book, taking place on the isle of Gramarye, chronicles the raising and education of King Arthur and ends prior to his final battle against Mordred.
		There is a light smattering of symbolism throughout the book: e.g., Mordred's Thrashers are easily Nazis; King Uther Pendragon, as derived from his birth and death dates, symbolizes the monarchy before the Magna Carta.
		This is where The Book of Merlyn slots in: Arthur is taken to Merlyn's cave, where he meets many of his old friends from The Sword in the Stone — animals with whom he has spent time.

		The book is not the most amazing piece I have ever read, but one most should read at one point in their lives.
		While Merlyn is a somewhat eccentric and proud magician, Arthur is a quiet and respectful King, but their relationship is so strong that the plot unfolds only when they converse.
		The Book of Merlyn was to be White's conclusion of the four-book volume titled The Once and Future King.

		The Book of Merlyn was written by White during WWII and was supposed to be the conclusion of the 5 book series The Once And Future King.
		White didn't see the proofs of Merlyn after the complete manuscript was submitted for publication in 1941 and because he made corrections once his work was in type, the manuscript was not in final form when it reached the publisher (Ace).
		The two episodes in The Book of Merlyn - Arthur as an ant and goose - appear out of context in The Sword in the Stone as published in the tetralogy.

		merlyn and all of the animals he learned from as a boy have gathered together and are pondering different things, and the morals of the lessons merlyn teaches.
		In The Book of Merlin, White displays his paranoia of the World Wars and his almost backward grasp on world politics by using the anthropomorphic characters from The Once and Future King and Merlin, who isn't so much a wizard in this book, but a raving anarchist.
		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.

		Second, another one of the books strengths is that the tone changes throughout the four books of the novel.
		This book is a mixture on all three of those genres and it's a very touching novel of King Arthur.

		The fifth book in the series, The Book of Merlyn, was published separately and finishes the story of Arthur's reign in England.
		The remaining books are aimed at older readers, and offer a chilling portrait of the darker side of chivalry, as Arthur struggles to develop a new philosophy that will become the basis of democratic society in the Western world.
		The book is moving, especially the sense of sacrifice that is evident in the life of Father Chisholm.

		There he listens to the magician and Archimedes, Badger, Urchin and so on, who are in a political debate on how the human way of considering life and the world is different from that of animals.
		I was disappointed with the Book of Merlyn, which in fact is hardly a novel.
		Merlyn's supposedly natural history lesson is but an excuse for discoursing on war and the bellicosity of Man. The only passages where there's an actual story are when Arthur visits the ant nest and travels with the wild geese, but these chapters were already included in The Sword in the Stone.

		An unpublished final section of the book was published after White's death, as The Book of Merlyn.

		As a student of Merlyn, Wart encounters three different kinds of governments--feudalism in his daily life with Ector, totalitarianism in his time as an ant, and anarchy in his time as a goose.
		His tone at the end of the fourth book, in the chat with young Tom, is one of acceptance of his fate.
		In it, Merlyn returns to Arthur and returns Arthur to happier days, when he visited the ants and geese and came face to face with the war-crazed ants and the happy-go-lucky geese.

		Another excellent book, this is considered to be, by many, the difinintive King Arthur book.
		It was one of those really great books because it hits so close to home, and makes you seriously think of what you'd do if you knew you only had 9 months to live.
		This book tells of a society where books are banned and the firefighter's sole purpose is buring books.
