The Once and Future King - The Sword in the StoneThe Once and Future King - The Sword in the Stone

The Once and Future King is an Arthurian fantasy novel written by T. H. White. It was first published in 1958 and is mostly a composite of earlier works written in a period between 1938 and 1941.
The title comes from the inscription of the marker over King Arthur's grave, the internally rhymed hexameter: Hoc iacet Arthorus, rex quondam, rexque futurus — "Here lies Arthur, formerly king, and king to be."

Baby's own AesopBaby's own Aesop"Baby's Own Aesop" presents the fables as one-stanza limericks, each "pictorially pointed" by Walter Crane, the noted painter and illustrator. He apprenticed to master wood-engraver, William James Linton, who furnished the draft of the book's poems for Crane to edit. "Baby's Own Aesop" is available in a beautiful facsimile edition of colored engravings from the International Children's Digital Library, with which your child can read along while listening to the recording. (Summary by Denny Sayers)
