I'm still waiting on the list to get the ebook either from the WPLC or the FLP. Having read TH White's
Once and Future King more than once (it was one of my favorite early teen books. A progression with age for fascination with the King Arthur legend, though my earliest reads substituted Guinevere's liaison with Lancelot with her being tricked into poisoning one of the Knights of the Round Table by Morgan le Fay) I am interested in reading this as much for the connection to TH White as for insights into hawking.

Yes I recall that bit as well as Wart's experience as a fish transformed back to human just as a pike is about to get him. And as a worker ant. Wonderful teen book that gets more adult as it progresses to the most famous part of the King Arthur legend.
