TH White, 1906 to 1964, wrote novels for both adults and
children, as well as non-fiction and verse. He lived a somewhat solitary life on
the island of Alderney. He is best known for his re-telling of the Arthurian
Legends in The Sword and the Stone and The Once and Future King
which was turned into the musical Camelot.
His work is very collectable with pre 1940s titles fetching
considerable sums when in their original dust jackets. The chronology of the
first editions is a little mixed with precedence swapping. Even when the
American edition was released first the English editions still tend to be of
greater value and collectability.
