of the Dark is Rising Sequence)
There is a Welsh legend about a harp of gold, hidden within
a certain hill, that will be found by a boy and a white dog
with silver eyes -- a dog that can see the wind. Will Stanton
knew nothing of this when he came to Wales to recover from a
severe illness. But when he met Bran, the strange boy who owned
a white dog, he began to remember.

Thomas Malory
The greatest English verson of the stories of King Arthur, Le
Morte D'Arthur was completed in 1469-70 by Sir Thomas Malory,
"knight prisoner." This edition is the first designed
for the general reader based on the "Winchester manuscript,"
which represents what Malory wrote more closely than the version
printed by William Caxton. Extensively annotated, this edition
is highly user-friendly.

unknown. Perhaps, as John Updike indicates in his preface, this
is because reading the book feels "as if we are dancing with
a partner who hears a distinctly different music."
