"Funny and wise" Cressida Cowell, author of ' How to Train Your Dragon'
T. H. White died in 1964, leaving a literary legacy that places him alongside J R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and Mervyn Peake as one of the 20th Century' s greatest British fantasists. He has inspired generations of fantasy writers, from Neil Gaiman to JK Rowling. Born in India in 1906, White studied at Queens' ' College, Cambridge, where he wrote a thesis on Thomas Malory' ' s Le Morte d' ' Arthur. He found success with his ' preface to Malory' , The Sword in the Stone, a wonderfully imaginative retelling of King Arthur' s early life. He continued to explore the Arthurian mythos in four further volumes - The Witch in the Wood, The Ill-Made Knight, The Candle in the Wind and The Book of Merlyn - a sequence collectively known as The Once and Future King. The novels were famously adapted into the Disney film The Sword in the Stone in 1963.
