Beowulf the Warrior is an outstanding modern version of the oldest epic in the English language. Ian Serraillier has retold in verse the story of the hero Beowulf and his three memorable exploits - first, his rescuing of Hrothgar the Dane from the ravages of monstrous Grendel; next, his victory over Grendel's strange and horrible mother; and finally, in Beowulf's old age, his saving of his own people, the Geats, from the horrors of a dragon at the cost of his life. Beowulf's heroism and noble heart communicate to any modern listener.

Publisher's Summary
This is one of the most popular re-tellings of the story of King Arthur. Like The Lord of the Rings, this fantasy novel has been equally popular among younger readers and adults. White takes an inventive approach that involves animals who speak and Robin Hood! A true Arthurian classic.

I've been waiting for this...
I've been waiting endlessly for this cherished childhood favorite to be released as an audiobook. This edition is the first section of T.H. White's epic "The Once and Future King." This part encompasses King Arthur's early years growing up under Merlin's tutelage at Sir Ector's castle. This book is more lighthearted and joyous than the sections that follow in "The Once & Future King," which are available on Audible as "The Witch in the Wood" and "The Ill-Made Knight." Although this book and the others are meant to go together as an epic work, "The Sword in the Stone" can easily stand alone as an enjoyable novel in its own right.
If I tried to tell you how superbly T.H White writes, you probably wouldn't believe me. The narrator does a smashing job of bringing the dialogue to life. I know I'll be listening to this book again and again over the years.
Sadly, at the time I'm writing this, the final section of "The Once & Future King," which covers the last years of King Arthur, is not yet released in audio format. Hopefully this will be soon be remedied!

Great! Even for adults
This was super-dooper fabulous!! Ok, I have never seen the whole animated film, so I wasn't "tainted" with the images of the film, but even if you had seen it, the narrator is going to give you a completely new view of it. He was simply wonderful, the different characters were completely brought to life. I wish he would do more "fun" narrations. The story too, oh my gosh, action packed and gets all of your emotions. I laughed out loud too many times to count. The scene with the jousters (well you'll just have to listen to it!!) Give this one a try even if you consider yourself a "serious minded adult" -trust me, you'll love it.

Wait until the full version is released
This is a great book and a great recording. I know that I'm not the only person who's been waiting what seems like a ridiculously long time for this extremely popular novel to be released on audio. However, for those who haven't read the book, I would suggest waiting until Naxos releases the full version, which is supposed to occur December 2 2008. It really is a continuous story, and you're bound to be disappointed if you have to wait months for the subsequent parts. I understand that it builds "drama" and "buzz" to release this way, but given that the entire book has been recorded, it's frustrating that we all have to wait until December to have access to the complete recording.

So good I wanted more
I read this book several years ago and really loved it. I purchased it as an audiobook on a whim - think it was on sale. I am SO glad I did! Listening to it was a completely different experience, largely because the narrator was such a fine performer. Many times I laughed out loud at his verbal antics, but I was also often caught by his pathos, especially in the section where Wart grows up a bit. I had also forgotten what a lovely writer White is - some of his descriptions of the forest or of the beauty of a summer day are breathtaking. This would be a good listen for parents and children together, but is also great if your a 40ish woman who just likes a good story.

good but not The Once and Future King
It's a well done audiobook, but unfortunate it's only part of the usual bundling of "The Sword in the Stone", "The Queen of Air and Darkness/The Witch in the Wood", "The Ill-Made Knight", and "The Candle in the Wind" (and sometimes "The Book of Merlyn") as "The Once and Future King".
Like I said, it's good, but if you're expecting the bigger bundle you might be disappointed.

Bit of a struggle
Would you try another book from T. H. White and/or Neville Jason?
Possibly, giving the benefit of the doubt
Would you ever listen to anything by T. H. White again?
Perhaps if a different topic.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Unfortunately I found the narrators voice to be a little monotonous in this instance.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I had to draw myself back on some occasions from a state of eye glaze where I had stopped listening!

Buy it, now!
Anyone who dismisses this as a children's story, fairy tale, or -worse - only knows the Disney cartoon... should be locked up in Galapas's dungeon & made to listen to this fine audiobook until his brains bubble.
There is a tradition of intelligent, absurdist British comedy, which - if you drew a line from Douglas Adams, back through Monty Python & the Goons, would go slap bang through the middle of T.H. White. Not just witty & erudite but laugh-out-loud funny.
Fantasy, Natural History, Science, Philosophy & observational comedy all wrapped up in a whacking good adventure yarn, stuffed with more mediaeval detail than you'd get after an evening drinking mead with an Oxford history don.
I'm going to listen to the remaining 4 books in what began as a trilogy ... now, where have I heard that before? Come back Douglas, comedy needs you. It's all just rockstar stand-ups, now, filling the O2 arena!
Beautifully read, too. Don't ever download the standard audiobook files. I paid £81 for Lord of the Rings & got something that sounds like it was recorded through Tom Bombadil's old sock! That was before Enhanced (CD) quality was available.

A great story but long winded
Got this book because of my love for the Disney film and Arthurian legend. It does not disappoint with the fantasy and descriptions being absolutely excellent.
My only problem is the lack of action and the long winded lectures that Wart received throughout the book from Merlin and various animals. I am sure some will enjoy, but I found them tedious and even skipped a few chapters to get to parts of the story I knew I would enjoy more.
But overall I recommend this highly for any lovers of Arther and Merlin and magic in general.

Story alteration
Well read for the most part although the narrator is not good at country accents.
Annoyed to find that part of the story had been changed. The boys’ adventure with the Scythian and Anthrophagi has been changed to an adventure with the enchanted castle of Morgan Le Fay and her castle made of food. Can’t imagine why this should have been done unless for political correctness.

I liked the performance and it was perfectly read but the story did not interest me. The story was only interesting at the end. I was bored for most of the time and kept getting distracted because the story was not engaging. I do like the person who is reading this as he reads the story out perfectly. Note: this audio book only matches the old version of the book so if you get the book make sure to get the old version and not the modern one.

A must-read for all fans of the Disney film
I loved the Disney film so much as a child and watched it more times than I can count. There was so much more to the story and I'm so glad I finally got to find out more about the young King Arthur and his magical adventures.
I was a bit disappointed to see Morgan LeFay portrayed the way she was but Madam Mim was infinitely better in the book! So creepy and beautiful. I also really loved White's version of Maid Marion.
Overall the book was almost a 4 star read but it seemed to lose the plot completely towards the middle and took a turn for the mind numbingly boring. Definitely worth the read though for all fans of the film.

Beautifully written, if a little silly in places
I loved the style of the writing, which was richly poetic, vivid and witty. The characters are fun, often comical and always likeable. I loved King Pellinore and the Questing Beast. I found some of the transformation stories (where Merlin transforms Wart into some kind of animal), as well as a few other narrative episodes, a bit daft. Overall, a gorgeous read.

Well worth purchasing.
This has already become a favourite book of ours and we've listened to it several times while traveling in the car. it is a wonderful performance of a great old book. I first read this book as a child and have revisited it many times. This rendition brings another facet to the overall experience of the story. White had a knack of creating such an intimate bond between the reader and the characters so that an.amazing sense of pathos could permeate the story. His authorial style was both light and profound. A lot of the humour derives from the anachronisms that proliferate throughout the text, such as Merlin wishing he was still on the company water, or performing psychoanalysis on the unfortunate Wat. White also had a remarkable way of slipping between tenses, narrative points and prose styles, and thus is an extremely sophisticated piece of writing from a literary point of view. This is something often overlooked by contemporary literary critics who lionise Wolfe or Molly Bloom for much the same thing. Yet White was able to write with as much literary wit
as anyone. His choice of genre, in this case, was both his undoing and his greatest accomplishment, first because the novel falls within the fantasy genre which critics don't take seriously enough; and the second because this genre is immensely popular with people who actually read books for enjoyment and not just for a living. Reading work of this calibre and complexity is a challenge and the producers and Neville Jason have done a fine job. This audio rendition is enjoyable to listen to and manages to convey a great deal of the warmth and charm that undergrids the original text. I highly recommend this audio book. To steal a phrase from Bernard Black, this book will make you laugh - it'll make you cry. It might very well change you too.

To the modern eye, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have many similarities to our own contemporary super-heroes. Equipped with magical powers, enchanted swords, super-strength, and countless villains to take on, they protect the weak and innocent and adhere to their own code of honor. Comparing Batman, Superman, and Captain America to Sir Launcelot, Sir Tristram, and Sir Galahad isn't a huge leap of the imagination.

Story
The stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere, Galahad, Gawain, Tristan and the rest of the Knights of the Roundtable, and the search for the Holy Grail have been beloved for centuries and are the inspiration of many modern fantasy novels, films, and shows. These legends began when an obscure Celtic hero named Arthur stepped on to the stage of history sometime in the sixth century. The Great Book of King Arthur brings these legends into the modern age, using accessible prose for contemporary listeners for the first time.

Story
To the modern eye, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have many similarities to our own contemporary super-heroes. Equipped with magical powers, enchanted swords, super-strength, and countless villains to take on, they protect the weak and innocent and adhere to their own code of honor. Comparing Batman, Superman, and Captain America to Sir Launcelot, Sir Tristram, and Sir Galahad isn't a huge leap of the imagination.
