Felt extremely rushed. Hygienist now uses scaler that she claims does a better job but also cuts her cleaning time in half. Scaler is uncomfortable when it goes over sensitive areas. I did express to her that there were two areas that were sensitive and uncomfortable. There was no concern or feedback offered other that she said some were bothered by the noise. I was quickly passed off to an assistant who did the polishing and finally quick check of teeth by dentist.
I am not saying the visit was not effective but feeling was like at a restaurant where you are being rushed so they can turn the tables quickly.
We are very sorry that you felt rushed during your appointment. We strive to do our best to address our patient's concerns/needs. We are using newer state of the art equipment to provide the best dental care for our patients. All of our assistants are qualified to polish. While the hygienist usually polishes sometimes we do call upon them. We look forward to you having a better experience next time, and we thank you for voicing your concerns.

These ladies are great! For the first time in 10 years I was a bit late arriving. No one freaked out. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. Always a good experience with the hygienist.
And, Dr. Kim Zizic, always wonderful! She REALLY cares and goes above and beyond just checking your teeth. She cares about your overall health and offers suggestions and advice if you're having issues in other areas.

For me, it's a time to temporarily put away my hot soups, stews and casserole recipes and to think about some outdoor cooking! I just finished prepping a beautiful cut of Tri-Tip, Santa Maria Style. As I type, the meat is coated with olive oil, lots of freshly minced garlic and some coarse salt. Tomorrow, it will be grilled over coals until it has a beautiful brown crust, with some medium-rare meat. Oh, it's a Carnivore's Delight! I thought I would post some photos and links of a few tried-and-truly delicious summer recipes that my husband and I plan to recreate over the next few months:

Huskers Drop Tight Match to Cowboys
Lincoln, Neb. - The Nebraska men's tennis team finished its opening weekend at home with a 4-3 setback to visiting Oklahoma State Sunday at the Nebraska Tennis Center.
The Huskers opened the day by dropping the doubles point before splittling six singles matches with the Cowboys. Two matches came down to the third sets, as NU's Andre Stenger fell in the third set to OSU's Chris Haworth 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, and Marc Herrmann lost in the third set to OSU's Rifat Biktyakov 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. The next loss came from Andrew Dzulnsky to OSU's Oleksiy Arovin 6-1, 7-6.
"It's a tough loss being up 3-1 and with major chances to close out a victory; especially at No. 2 singles where Andre was serving for the match, and that would have cinched a victory," Nebraska Coach Kerry McDermott said. "We are a young team, and It was great to see our team put themselves into a position to win. We just did not finish strong. Next week will be even tougher, and I expect this team to let go of this loss and learn from it. Hopefully we can contiue to battle hard and give the effort we have seen this weekend throughout the year."
The Huskers return to the Nebraska Tennis Center next weekend for two more matches against top-50 foes. Nebraska takes on No. 50 Drake on Friday, Feb. 8 at 6 p.m., before finishing off the challenging weekend against No. 32 VCU Sunday, Feb. 10, at 10 a.m.

Anticancer Agents from Natural Products, 2nd ed. by Gordon M. Cragg, David G.I. Kingston, and David J. Newman, 2011.
The approach to drug discovery from natural sources has yielded many important new pharmaceuticals inaccessible by other routes. In many cases the isolated natural product may not be an effective drug for any of several reasons, but it nevertheless may become a drug through chemical modification or have a novel pharmacophore for future drug design. In summarizing the status of natural products as cancer chemotherapeutics, this book covers current drugs in advanced preclinical and clinical development; addresses the applications of synthetic and medicinal chemistry to the preparation of analogs with enhanced activities; focuses on the development of effective drugs through antibody-directed targeted delivery of potent cytotoxins to tumor cells; and discusses novel drug discovery through combinatorial biosynthesis and genome mining. Hardcover, 767 pages. ON SALE

Book Tour and Activities on the Go!
About the Destination:
The scenic Devrayandurga offers an exciting trek for adventure lovers who want to unwind amid nature. About 9 miles from Tumkur , the Devrayandurga is home to the Laxmi Narsimha Temple on its lowest elevation. Reaching an elevation of 3940ft this is an ideal trek for both domestic and international travellers. This 2 day getaway is perfect to feel one with nature on weekends.
About the Activity:
Once you arrive at the campsite that is about 2 hours from Bangalore at about 3:00pm, you switch to adventure mode and begin this adventure by swimming in the refreshing waters. After splashing and spraying around in the water tank, you can enjoy a warm cup of tea and some snacks and relax for some time. With the night young, enjoy a crackling fire with some roasted veggies and some dinner before you retire for the night.
With an early breakfast, you can begin your trek toward the Devarayandurga Peak, where you will be treated to stunning views of the sprawling greenery, the rocky terrain, and the views of the Laxmi Narasimha Temple. At the peak, let the fresh mountain air fill your lungs and you feel on top of the world .
If you're seeking adventure, there is more, you can learn rock climbing for about 3 hours with expert instructors who will tell you various tips to become a better climber. Once you're back, you can savour some lunch before heading out for a tour of the Gherkin Bottling Factory Tour in the evening.
You can mark the end of this adventurous trek by about 4.30 and head back towards Bangalore.

The Internet provides countless opportunities to make and maintain friends on social networking sites, learn about endless topics, and explore new territory. However, while the internet can give young people amazing access to elephant habitats in Africa and how to help conservation efforts, the internet is also by teens to promote unhealthy behaviors.
Parents should understand the potential pitfalls of connected technology in order to appropriately help their children steer clear of them. CyberHood Watch identifies these ten dangerous behaviors promoted by teens on the Internet:
Part of raising resilient digital citizens is helping kids and teens identify reliable information online and recognize that some sites host information that is false or dangerous. In addition to installing internet-tracking & filtering software, discuss with your children the sites they visit. Promote the importance of responsible internet surfing.

mens red nike free run 2
By James Osborne
Energy Secretary Rick Perry said Wednesday global efforts to shift away from fossil fuels were "immoral," threatening economic developments in poorer nations.
"Look those people in the eyes that are starving and tell them you can't have electricity," he said. "Because as a society we decided fossil fuels were bad. I think that is immoral."
The comments followed a sprawling speechat the CERAWeek by IHS Markit energy conference in which Perry declared the United States has entered an age of a new "energy realism," in which the country would increasingly supply the world with oil and gas, coal, wind and other forms of energy.
"America is now on the cusp of energy independence but the president wants to see this go further. He wants to share America's energy bounty with the world," Perry said. "We're going to be exporting multiple fuels. and we will export the same technologies that made us a clean abundant energy producer."
RELATED STORY: Rick Perry seeks new path for coal
The former Texas governor did not mention the term "climate change," a controversial topic within the administration since President Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris agreement on climate change last year.
But the topic hung over his speech. He cited the decline in U.S. carbon emission between 2005 and 2014, largely attributed to the power sector's shift from coal to natural gas and renewables.
"The lesson's 'clear we don't have to choose between growing the economy and caring for the environment," Perry said.
Since taking office last year, Perry has promoted an "all of the above" energy strategy towards lowering energy costs and growing the U.S. economy - a script he largely stuck to Wednesday.
But behind the scenes, his department has shown a predilection for aiding the coal sector.
In September he proposed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission increase rates for coal and nuclear power plants that have shuttered at a fast clip in recent years. Commissioners ultimately rejected the proposal earlier this year Republicans and Democrats criticized the plan as a government giveaway promoted by coal magnate Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Energy.
Our mission is to make science a cultural activity . We spend our time developing programs to prototype our ideas for hardware, software, media which support scientific investigation.
We're always looking for sandboxes where we can explore novel ways of supporting playful, scientific investigation—and developing the tools and materials that requires. Got a lead on something that might interest us? Let us know !
Over the past year we've been working with the City of Somerville—along with local families, businesses, and institutions—to develop a proposal for a new high school in Somerville, an Innovation School extending the themes behind sprout's work: project-based learning, computational thinking, and a deep integration with the community. Our prospectus was unanimously approved in the summer of 2012, and we're now in the midst of developing the more detailed Innovation Plan for submission early 2013.
Inspired by the community events of Great Small Works , this dinner theater series brings people together around food, music, performance united by a monthly theme. Seeking to blur the line between art and academia, the series asks academics to approach their lectures as performance and puppeteers to cast their theater as pedagogy. Each month, we bring folks together around a program of presentations performances which at their best help us understand a piece of everyday life from a new perspective.
Inspired by works like Braitenberg's
and Schrödinger's

Pharmacometrics is the science of applying mathematical/statistical methods to amenable questions in drug development and therapy. Although a relatively young science (the name appeared first in 1982), it dates back to Widmark, Teorell and Dost, many decades earlier. However, only with the availability of (relatively) user-friendly software for nonlinear mixed effects modeling and affordable and powerful hardware, the specialty gained widespread application and recognition, as well as a much broader scope after 1990. At the drug delivery and disposition unit, Pharmacometrics was established as independent specialtyin 2016 and focuses on the application of parametric (NONMEM) and nonparametric (Pmetrics) methods for parameter identification and simulation (Berkeley Madonna, Pmetrics). Applications range from the quantitative description of drug metabolism in cell culture systems to the optimization of dosing regimens in patients across multiple therapeutic areas. An ongoing area of research is the optimization of dose finding methods and making computer assisted dose finding available to physicians without pharmacometric training at the point of care. We also offer in-house consulting to clinicians studying the dosing regimen-exposure-response relationship of drugs.
Pharmaceutical Technology
The study of formulation strategies and manufacturing processes is the research topic of the Pharmaceutical Technology research group of Drug Delivery and Disposition. The aim is to correlate the physical structure of the drug delivery system to the drug release kinetics and stability profile, and to correlate formulation and processing parameters tot he resulting physical structure. The group is worldwide recognized for expertise in the field of amorphous materials and solid (molecular) dispersions of poorly soluble drugs.

The complete "box set" of T. H. White's epic fantasy novel of the Arthurian legend. The novel is made up of five parts: "The Sword in the Stone", "The Witch in the Wood", "The Ill-Made Knight", "The Candle in the Wind", and "The Book of Merlyn".
Merlyn instructs the Wart (Arthur) and his brother, Sir Kay, in the ways of the world. One of them will need it: the king has died, leaving no heir, and a rightful one must be found by pulling a sword from an anvil resting on a stone. In the second and third parts of the novel, Arthur has become king and the kingdom is threatened from the north. In the final two books, the ageing king faces his greatest challenge, when his own son threatens to overthrow him. In "The Book of Merlyn", Arthur's tutor Merlyn reappears and teaches him that, even in the face of apparent ruin, there is hope.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
AudioFile Earphones Award, 2009
"For those who have never read these five books, prepare to be surprised by their adultness, their laugh-out-loud humor and tongue-in-cheek commentary on modern life; for those who know them well, prepare to be delighted with Neville Jason's transcendent reading. The lovely timbre of his narrative voice, his rhythmic, easy pacing and host of individual characterizations transport listeners into White's weird and wonderful otherworld as quickly as Alice slipped through the looking glass. This long production is so entrancing that one wishes it would never end." (AudioFile)

My favorite book this year.
When I read reviewers write, "the best book I have ever read," I thought yeah right! 'must not have read many books. Well, I have read a fair bit myself and this is definitely one of the best written books I have ever read. I believe it is a book that one can read and reread and enjoy over and over and find something new in each reading of it. Not to be redundant, it is also one of the most fun and funniest I have ever read. It is a scholarly and even literary work, if you will. And yet, at the same time, the book is totally enchanting, witty and charming.
The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table arose in the early Middle Ages, when England was just beginning to come under the influence of Christianity. When anyone retells the story, the author brings his own perspective to the tale of chivalry. Here T.H. White often appears to use the education of the young king Wart by Merlyn to educate the reader. While not in so many words, or maybe it is that: Merlin is a time-traveler. Not so much in the context of some science fiction novel but in his memory. Merlin is aware of past, present and the future. Certainly the author is aware of those times and uses those temporal events to tell his story. The book is in many ways a critique of mid-twentieth-century British culture. At first, things seem somewhat anachronistic but then we see that the narrator regularly references events and people in modern times to help tell his tale even more effectively.
Both T.H. White's The Once and Future King and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings were written in the shadow of World War II, and both reflect that context to some extent:
"No. There is one fairly good reason for fighting - and that is, if the other man starts it. You see, wars are a wickedness, perhaps the greatest wickedness of a wicked species. They are so wicked that they must not be allowed. When you can be perfectly certain that the other man started them, then is the time when you might have a sort of duty to stop him." (Merlyn)
Not only is T.H. White's The Once and Future King full of anachronistic references to places and events of modern times, but it also plays fast and loose with time within the framework of the novel itself. Given the references to the death of Uther Pendragon in 1216 and the appearance of Thomas Malory at the end of the story, Arthur would have lived from 1201-1485. In effect, what White does is telescope almost three hundred years of English history and social development into the backdrop of a single narrative.
The book is long. But multiple versions of the story of King Arthur are considered within its covers so how short can it be? No, this is the best of several interpretations of the legend and it is not too long. While much of the book's ending dwells on allegory, philosophy and social commentary, it is done with and eloquence and prose that is hard to compare with.
One of the young reviewers of this book that I found tried to figure out the audience for for whom the author intended and concluded there were many. I agree:
For children and young adults-
"I have been thinking ... about Might and Right. I don't think things ought to be done because you are able to do them. I think they should be done because you ought to do them." (Arthur). One of the central themes of the book is War: Right and Might.
On one level, both Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and T.H.
White's The Once and Future King are children's stories, yet both novels contain very
serious social commentary clearly intended for adults. Who could argue though that the social satire found in these novels detracts too much from the ability of children to enjoy them. Could a child appreciate all that is contained within TOaFK? Certainly not. However, there are many stories in this legend and many that target the child in all of us. One need not read this entire book though I am sure a lust will always remain to do so.
No reviewer could possibly do justice to this book. How about some more of the author's own words:
On Wisdom-
"The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. That is the only thing that never
fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting." (Merlyn)
This is a story about great compassion-
"If I were made a knight ..., I should insist on doing my vigil by myself, a Hob does with
his hawks, and I should pray to God to let me encounter all the evil in the world in my own person, so that if I conquered there would be none left, and, if I were defeated, I would be the one to suffer for it." (Wart)
The author writes a great deal about the evolution of man-
"Here, all you embryos, come here with your beaks and whatnots to look upon Our first
Man. He is the only one who has guessed Our riddle, out of all of you, and We have great pleasure in conferring upon him the Order of Dominion over the Fowls of the Air, and the Beasts of the Earth, and the Fishes of the Sea. Now let the rest of you get along, and love and multiply, for it is time to knock off for the weekend. As for you, Man, you will be a naked tool all your life, though a user of tools. You will look like an embryo till they bury you, but all the others will be embryos before your might. Eternally undeveloped, you will always remain potential in Our image, able to see some of Our sorrows and to feel some of Our joys. We are partly sorry for you, Man, but partly hopeful." (Badger)
Much is written about human morality-
"Morals ... are a form of insanity. Give me a moral man who insists on doing the right
things all the time, and I will show you a tangle which an angel couldn't get out of." (Lionel)
This title actually includes Books 1-5 of T.H. White's magnum opus. It is not so much about world-building per se though there is enough of that. The book is more about us as humans and our nature... our intellectual, psychological, social and even political nature. The book is philosophical, satirical with even a little theology thrown in. Not too much; just the right amount. If it is action that ye seek, knockdown, drag out fighting, best look elsewhere. This is one more about relationships and different kinds of heroes.
This is brilliant storytelling brilliantly read and performed. The narration by Neville Jason is as good as it gets. I could not recommend a book more highly.

A Modern Classic Epic Flawed by One Book Too Many
I eagerly purchased this audiobook of T. H. White???s complete The Once and Future King, because for a long time Audible only had the individual books available. And I loved the first four books, which begin with the halcyon fantasy of The Sword in the Stone, in which the boy Arthur (???Wart???) is educated by an anachronistic Merlyn. The scenes describing the daily life of a medieval castle during different seasons are vivid and beautiful, while those recounting Wart???s fantastic adventures and transformations into various animals are imaginative, suspenseful, and humorous. White loved and respected flora and fauna (even snakes), and this first book is encyclopedic and fantastic, dense and rich, absorbing and moving.
From the second book, The Queen of Air and Darkness, which opens in the cold north as Queen Morgause boils a black cat alive while her four sons are telling the story of their grandmother???s rape by Arthur???s father, begins the increasingly dark movement of the novel, centered on the tragedy caused by Arthur???s family history and the romantic triangle between himself, Guenevere, and Lancelot (The Ill-Made Knight). In the 2nd through 4th books White most closely follows Malory, though he also moves the era forward from the 11th to the 15th century and empathically imagines how medieval men and women felt and thought with modern psychological insight. At the same time, he writes plenty of joie de vivre, questing and combating knights, and fascinating details about medieval life (food, fashion, feudalism, etc.).
The novel really concludes with the 4th book (The Candle in the Wind) as the last battle between Arthur and Mordred is about to begin, but this audiobook then adds The Book of Merlyn, which may be good for completists, but which I found disappointing, as on the eve of the last battle Merlyn takes his former pupil off for a night of anachronistic political and philosophical debate with Badger and company about why humans wage war and what might be done to prevent it. Apart from Arthur changing into an ant and a goose to experience two different social systems, there is little ???story??? in this last book: too little Arthurian Matter and too much Whiteian Musing.
Jason Neville does a marvelous job reading the long work, effortlessly giving different characters distinctive voices and personalities without over doing it (so that, for example, his female characters sound like human beings rather than like a man imitating ???women???). And his King Pellinore reminds me of John Gielgud.
I recommend this audiobook for anyone interested in the Matter of Britain or philosophical and well-written fantasy.

Fabulous reading, epic story and a new chapter!
I first read this book in 1963, and it was always a great favorite; the layers of Arthurian myth with White's dry wit and time-bending sensibilities as if Camelot were set in circa WWI Great Britain. This version is an admirable reading, Neville Jason provides finely-honed voices and the perfect slightly-ironic intonation that catches the tongue-in-cheek nature of this book. There is a chapter new to me, actually two. The "Mrs Mim" section was absolutely not in my edition, and features a wizard's duel between Mrs Mim and Merlyn. Reminds me of some other book about wizards I've read recently, can't think which one, though. And the Book of Merlyn is at the end, an addition to the version I read, advice to the king from his departing tutor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for the most enjoyable listening.

Good, but not unabriged
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It's very well-read, voices are excellently done. And overall, it's a great story.
Any additional comments?
I wish the recording had included everything that was in the book. I read the book once before, a long time ago, and kept waiting for the bit where the Wart visited an ant colony (one of the few things I remember clearly from the time I read it before. It was about 30 years ago now). It never arrived. Thought I was losing my mind. I checked a physical copy of the work, and there it is, beginning of Chapter 13. They also skipped the bit where the Wart, after being turned into an owl and being taught how to fly, is turned into a goose. They probably skipped it because they skipped the ant colony, as this experience is a sharp contrast to the other one.
If I hadn't known they were missing, I suppose I wouldn't miss those parts at all. But still. I wish a recording wouldn't call itself unabridged when it isn't.

People Who Say They are No Good are Always the
Good Ones.
Since you can get these five books for one credit, go ahead and get it, instead of one book at a time. Believe me if you buy the first book, you are going to want the second and if you buy the second, etc. Since this is five books I will go over each, in case you buy one at a time. I will try an be brief. I mean if if takes you as long to read the review as the book, why not just get the book.
1, The Sword and The Stone (1938). This is the best of the five and is mostly a fantasy. Wart/Arthur is turned into several animals to learn about life. There is also an interesting part on boar hunting. Did you know on a boar spear there is a cross piece to keep the animal from running up the spear to get to you.
2.The Witch In the Wood (1939) This is shorter, darker and not as funny, nor as good as the book before and after, but necessary as it explains the origin of the Round Table.
3. The Ill-Made Knight (1940) This is all about Lancelot. You really get to know his character, matter of fact there is more character building in this book then the others. This is the longest of the books and actually goes on about three hours longer then it should have. Did you know that Lancelot was extremely ugly? This is one of the reasons he became such a great Knight. It is such a big part of his character I can't believe so many movies chose to make him some stupid Handsome Hunk. He is a lot more complicated as an Ugly Man. You are introduced to the tragic character Elaine, who starts out as a trickster, but who you end up feeling strongly sorry for. Guinvere turns out to be one horny queen.
4. The Candle in The Wind (1958) Does Might Mean Right is the common theme in all these books. It is especially in this one and the book has several long speeches. I myself as a child never understood why John Wayne won ever fight he was in. Until True Grit, John Wayne strongly believed he should never be killed in a movie. Heroes don't die and never lose fights. King Arthur's mother dies at the age of 70, in bed with a young man she seduced. In the original "Once and Future King" this was the last book, as it should have stayed.
5.The Book of Merlyn (1977) This was published after T.H. White's death. He wanted it in the original (Once and Future King), but the editor would not allow it. That was one smart editor. This book brought the whole series down from Five stars to Four. This book has no plot and is 97% anti-war speeches. There is a part where the King is turned into a ant and then into a goose. Those parts and the end which explains what finally happens to everybody are the only good parts to the book. This is mostly a debate where White argues both sides. I also am aniti-war, but no explanation is given about what to do about people like Hitler. White seems to say let him keep murdering Jews.
All in all this is very well written, is very entertaining and if you are a fan of the Legend of Arthur, then it is a must read.
The narrator is excellent.

Wordy Schmerdy! Don't be a quitter!
This is a wonderful book, full of knights, chivalry and magic. What I didn't expect is how funny it is. It made me giggle several times.
I'm not satisfied to be a passive listener. I want to get everything I can from any book I read. So I did a little research into the life of T.H. White. He was an English scholar and writer. He left Britain for Ireland during World War 2. He strongly objected to the war and didn't want to be involved in it. So, where other reviewers see wordiness, I see a window into the writer's mind. The first 4 books are wonderfully detailed and captivating. The fifth requires a little more patience and thought. It's as if White set up characters to have a dialog that he was having with himself. Why do men kill each other? How can we stop it? Should we, or can we, stop it?
Give it a chance. You'll love it.

Great story, AMAZING narration
I read this story years ago, so when the complete audio version became available, I snapped it up. The story is pretty much as I remembered, but so much better because of the narration. Neville Jason handles the archaic terms impeccably, and moves easily between the chivalric language harking back to Malory and the more modern phrases and asides.
Mr. Jason also strikes just the right notes, whether in the light-hearted sections or in the more poignant passages. I felt the true sense of tragedy in the story of a king who tried to do something new and good, and who nevertheless was brought down by fate and youthful indiscretions.
An excellent, excellent story, and a lovely narration. I didn't mind the last book, but if you skip it, you won't really have missed anything much. But I wanted to hear the whole thing, and I'm glad I did. Thank you, T.H. White and Neville Jason for a truly memorable work.

Missing chapters
I'm reading this book as a summer reading requirement. I have been reading along with the audiobook when I'm with my book, but only listening when I'm out the house. I noticed that some chapters and sections were missing from The Sword in the Stone such as chapter 13 and 17

One of the Greatest Fantasy Novels EVER!
*** First a preamble:
Just so you know, this audiobook contains Books 1 -4 of The Once and Future King AND Book #5 (The Book of Merlin). I didn't know #5 was included, but was thrilled to discover it came with the rest.
*** OK, preambulations are done, on with the real review:
I loved it and my two brats (11 & 13) absolutely enjoyed it, even if many of the jokes, the funky anachronistic blending of the Medieval with the Modern, might have floated a bit over their tiny wee heads.
Anyway, I think White perfectly captured the magic, power, fears and the joy of both youth and myth with this retelling of early Arthurian legend. White's theme of power and justice ("Might Makes Right") seem to perfectly capture the political Zeitgiest of now. Perhaps, White like Merlin was just writing through time backwards and wanted to capture the queer contradictions of Imperial Democracy in the global 21st century, but wanted to write it in the 1930s so Disney would be around to animate it (ugh) in the 60s and thus make his point resonate better in the early 21st century.
You might think a novel that basically focuses on a love-triangle (a quadrilateral if you include God), several affairs, a man's struggle between his love for a woman, love for God, love for his best friend, would not hold the interest of a 13 and an 11-year old for long, but this is T.H. White. The characters are so human, so filled with frailties, heroics, and insecurities that White could have written about cooking for 300 pages and my kids would have been rapt from page 1 to the end.
The story turns, about half-way through, solidly to Lancelot. It is impossible to understand Lancelot without looking at Arthur, Guinevere, Elaine & Galahad. And White digresses throughout TO&FK to capture these stories. The middle of the book pivots as Camelot, under Arthur's leadership, undergoes a change from physical quests (Round Table v. Might makes Right) to spiritual ones (Round Table > Grail quest). This change captures/mirrors the dynamic of Lancelot's own story (the vacillation between the physical and spiritual).
Finally, the weight of the conspiracies, the betrayals, the killings, and the expulsions are all there pushing against the King (I love when T.H. White calls Arthur - England) and his faith in man and justice. It just isn't to be. Do I need to hide the ending? Am I going to spoil the book for you? Come now, we are all mostly adults here. Camelot fails, but T.H. White explores the failure almost as beautifully as he does the magic of Camelot. He captures the magic of Camelot by focusing on the humanity of the people. He isn't satisfied with making (or keeping rather) Lancelot, King A, Guinevere, and even Mordred locked up in the stale symbols they often become. The trite shadows of type is not T.H. White's jam. He wants to humanize everybody. He wants to show the motives, the nuances of character that makes the reader LOVE these figures not because they symbolize things like bravery, chivalry, or justice ... but because they remind the reader of elements, times, moods and flaws found buried within. T.H. White started with a fantasy novel, but ended with an exploration of war, humanity, love, and hope.
Look, I'm skeptical of fantasy novels. They aren't my thing. I want literature. I want something that pushes you against the wall of your own head and dares you to think bigger. I think T.H. White was aiming for that -- and holy anachronisms - he nailed it.

I read it first when I was a Teenager. Back then I was a little disappointed, Now, many years later I really could appreciate this great book. Very well read.
