description: "... a personal as well as historical story that crisscrosses the centuries on the question of war &amp; peace." - NY TimesThis magical account of King Arthur's last night on earth spent weeks on the New York Times Best-seller List following its publication in 1977. Even in addressing the profound issues of war &amp; peace, The Book of Merlyn retains the life &amp; sparkle for which White is known. The tale brings Arthur full circle, an ending, White wrote, that "will turn my completed epic into a perfect fruit, 'rounded off &amp; bright &amp; done'."
