Madam Mim's only known appearance in a Disney On Ice show, was in the Mickey's Diamond Jubilee show, which toured from 1988 to 1993. Before Camelot, before Excalibur and the Round Table, and Lancelot and Guinevere, there was a boy who would one day be the legendary King Arthur. A sword pulling ceremony hosted by Merlin where a lucky child who pulled the sword would be declared the temporary ruler of Fantasyland was a common show until the ceremony ended in 2006 in the Magic Kingdom. When they all go back to the stone, however, Kay admits his falsehood and, with his father, falls prostrate before the Wart, hailing him as King. This makes everybody feel uncomfortable, and Merlyn seems to regret his bad temper, apologising to Kay and giving him a silver hunting knife.

Jo's choice, 'You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto', is by computer scientist and virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier. First published by Collins in the United Kingdom as a stand-alone work, it later became the first part of a tetralogy, The Once and Future King. When Kay and Ector are in the kitchen fighting against the enchanted dishware, Ector swings his sword backwards and accidentally hits Kay on the head, causing Kay to groan. When the party arrives, they are guided by Twyti, a downtrodden but experienced hunter, and Robin Hood.

But for experienced readers and listeners, it's worth the trouble; surely there can be no version of the Arthurian cycle more beautifully written, warm-hearted, and affectionate, nor one containing a more appealing child. Or at least Talbott doesn't seem to have made it any less so with this edited but still wordy retelling of the Sword and the Stone. Transformed by Merlyn into the forms of his fantasy, Wart learns the value of history from a snake, of education from a badger, and of courage from a hawk--the lessons that help turn a boy into a man. There he meets Merlyn, an old wizard who lives backward through time and has the ability to see the future. The young Arthur depicted here is boyishly loving and kind, deeply honorable and empathetic, brave and stalwart.

This book, due to the complexity of the King Arthur legend, is best suited for the later elementary years and early middle grade years. Despite her affliction, Madam Mim did not die from her illness; her counterpart in the book, meanwhile, died at the end of the duel.

I still to this day catch myself randomly singing the song “That’s what makes the world go round” from the movie quite often! There are parts of it that are beautiful, parts that are so wonderfully well described, like Wart's time with the geese, or when he's turned into a fish, and the narrative voice is so wonderfully understanding of what goes on inside people's minds.Merlyn then explains what he has known all along: that The Wart is Uther’s son, and that his real name is Arthur.
