T. H. White
T. H. White (Terence Hanbury White, 1906–1964) was a British author and novelist, born in Bombay, India and educated in England. He is best known for his Arthurian cycle The Once and Future King, a reimagining of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur that brings the story of King Arthur from childhood through the end of his reign. First published as a single volume in 1958, The Once and Future King combines earlier novels including The Sword in the Stone (1938), The Queen of Air and Darkness (originally The Witch in the Wood, 1939), The Ill-Made Knight (1940), and the later section The Candle in the Wind.
Beyond his Arthurian works, White wrote across genres as a novelist, poet, essayist, and social historian, with early success in books such as the autobiographical England Have My Bones (1936). His retellings of Arthurian legend, especially The Once and Future King, have had lasting influence on modern fantasy and popular interpretations of King Arthur.
