White wrote The Once and Future King as 4 books, though when he came around to the fourth book he edited the first three (The Sword in the Stone, The Witch in the Wood, and The Ill-made Knight) and combined them with the fourth and published them together as The Once and Future King.
There was actually an fifth book, The Book of Merlyn that was published years after his death.
The stand alone version of the Sword in the Stone is the original version and differs from the one in TOAFK. Some scenes were cut (Madame Mim!) and some were added from the Book of Merlyn. The original Sword in the Stone is worth reading even if you've read the other.
