This book (The
Sword in the
Stone) is just a shortened version of the movie – without the songs. It has the same characters,
Merlin, the wizard, Arthur – normally called Wart, Archimedes, the owl, who belongs to Merlin, Sir Ector, Kay, Arthur’s foster brother, and other characters. It has the same events, the
sword was still stuck in the
stone, lots of knights tried to pull it out but failed, Arthur managed to pull it out and he became the King of England and lots of other things. One thing they missed out was the death of King Uther which was at the start of the move and various other parts. The Walt Disney Company wonderfully rewrote this story. Rating and Recommendation: I would rate it 7/ 10 and I would positively recommended ‘The Sword in the Stone the book’ to anyone who enjoyed the film as much as I did.
