Each of these animals comes with their own unique experiences, and they teach Arthur something about education and being a good leader. Throughout Wart’s education with Merlyn, he is changed into a series of animals, including a perch, a merlin, a goose, an ant, and a badger. This man’s name is Merlyn, and he is going to be Wart’s tutor. The Wart follows Cully into the woods and he happens upon some interesting characters: King Pellinore, on a never-ending hunt for the Questing Beast, and a man in a strange hat, with a long beard and a talking owl. Meanwhile, Kay and Wart go out with Cully the hawk, and Kay loses him. Their tutor has left the manor after losing her mind, and Ector is fretting over whom to hire as a new tutor for the boys. The Wart (Arthur) is not Ector’s proper son, so Kay is favored with most things by his father and is a bit spoiled. Young “Wart” lives with Ector and his son Kay in Ector’s manor. Book IV deals with Mordred’s destruction of Arthur’s reign, but not before Arthur makes sure his ideas of civil law and justice are passed on to future generations. Book III concerns Lancelot coming to terms with his imperfections and realizing that God has not abandoned him, even when he has sinned.
Book II deals with the effect of World War I leading to World War II, and has many similarities to the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex.
