Such a small thing, The Book of Merlyn, to hold so much. Joyful and despairing, heartbreaking, yet full of hope. As wonderful and fearful to read today as it was when I first found it in 1978. And the world has as much need of it today as it did then—more, perhaps. But will the world be ready to listen?
Peter Green
This mythic political fable for our time wasn't published when it was written because the world wasn't ready for it.
Gregory Macguire
It was well after the publication of my own novel, Wicked, that someone pointed out to me (I think it was my mother) how much I had learned from White’s Arthurian cycle. As soon as she said so, I smacked my forehead with the heel of my hand. Of course. I had emulated White’s temerity in taking a well-known story—in my instance, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—and I had dared to try to tell it again for a new generation, as if it had never been told before.
From the Publisher
“Superb reading.”—The Kansas City Star
“Filled with poignance and marvelous power…Enthusiasts for White’s touching, profound, funny, and tragic story will not want to miss this version, for it is the true and intended ending of the great work.”—Los Angeles Times
“And so the grand epic comes full circle, ‘rounded and bright and done,’ as White had wished it would be.”—Boston Sunday Globe
