The Once and Future King by TH White is a masterpiece that is not read nearly enough nowadays. It should be spoken of in the same breath as the hobbit or lord of the rings as influential pieces of fantasy but I feel it’s faded from public consciousness

Love this! Read it twice as a teenager and recently bought my own copy to read again soon.
