I tried to think who might be a "literary" hero of mine, and the name that popped up was T.H. White, though come to think of it I basically know nothing about him. Now I am curious to try to find out more, but also a bit nervous.
The Once and Future King had a huge impact on me when I read it as a teenager! I made a Goodreads account many years ago for the sole purpose of reviewing it. And I even have a copy of the standalone version of Sword in the Stone, which is quite different than the version included in The Once and Future King!
Many thanks for enriching our 'reader life'. I just watched your video/reading of your essay on reading Peter Pan to your children which has inspired me to reread it as an adult from your perspective. Also I followed up on your referral to the blog Ancedotal Evidence. Is there a way to subscribe to it? I couldn't find the subscription box.

You like the sword in the stone?

So I guess that's a yes, lol.
haha indeed. I actually never read it but have been hankering for it for a few years. I love very much the Sylvia Townsend Warner biography of White.
