Quotations “The boy [Lancelot] thought that there was something wrong with him. All throughout his life—even when he was a great man with the world at his feet—he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand ... We do not have to dabble in a place which he preferred to keep secret." 1940 British novels Modern Arthurian fiction British fantasy novels 1940 fantasy novels Novels by T. H. White G. P.
