The Sword In The Stone by T.H. White

If you like magic and fantasy you should read The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White. A boy named Wart travels into a forest and finds a wizard named Merlyn. Merlyn becomes Wart’s tutor and turns him into many different animals. This is how Merlyn teaches Wart. My favorite part is when Wart gets turned into a snake. When Wart gets turned into a snake he learns about history from a snake who tells him how the dinosaurs became extinct and how snakes got their poison. Merlyn has to leave Wart because Wart’s half brother Kay is becoming a knight. Kay goes to a joust and forgets his sword so Wart has to go and find him one. Wart sees a stone with a sword in it. There is a saying about this sword that Wart doesn’t know. It is that whoever pulls out the sword will become king. Will Wart be able to pull out the sword?
