{"product_id":"th-white-a-biography","title":"TH White. a Biography","description":"T H White, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Sword in The Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future King\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Goshawk\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other works of English literature, died in Greece from a heart attack in 1964, aged 57. The eminent novelist and critic Sylvia Townsend Warner was asked to write his biography, now republished for a new generation. The biography was published in 1967 and was Warner's greatest critical success since her first novel, \u003ci\u003eLolly Willowes\u003c\/i\u003e (1926). It reveals White's passion for life, for learning, and for animals and birds, particularly hawks and dogs; his self-exile to Ireland during the Second World War, the creation of \u003ci\u003eThe Sword in the Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the first in the tetralogy \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future King\u003c\/i\u003e, and the unexpected wealth and fame that came with the Disney cartoon of the same name, and the Broadway musical \u003ci\u003eCamelot\u003c\/i\u003e. Warner treats White's repressed sexual predilections with humane understanding in this wise portrait of a tormented literary giant, written by a novelist and a poet.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"TH White: A Biography","offer_id":44845958725829,"sku":null,"price":47.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-912766-74-1.jpg?v=1750828429","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/th-white-a-biography","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
