Part 5 of #THWhite 's quintet of Arthurian novellas is an oddity: the publisher baulked at releasing the collection, partly due to wartime paper rationing, so White raided it for its best 20 pages and stuck them in the 1st book! What remains, published posthumously, is uneven: moments of the sublime, moments of laugh out loud ridiculousness, but too much of Merlyn lecturing out White's political beliefs. #Bookstodon @bookstodon
