Tymn p. 174 [FANTASY LITERATURE, A CORE COLLECTION]: "This singular classic of Arthurian fantasy is the epitome of the vast Arthurian tradition as it comes down to the twentieth century It starts at the court of Sir Ector when Arthur is yet a boy -- a foster child affectionately known as Wart. Merlyn the magician tutors Wart and his imperious foster-brother, Kay. Through Merlyn's magic, the boys (especially Wart) are given a remarkable education. Wart learns by doing as well as by studying. He becomes a falcon to learn respect for the military code; as a fish, he learns the meaning of personal danger [R]egardless of the splendor of his Table Round or the glory of the Holy Grail, these early days under Merlyn's tutelage are his best."
