aulsmith : Over written. You can read about the magic education of the lost prince in Sword in the Stone in a seventh of the time.
sturlington: Not a must-read unless you are 12.
0wllight : An okay book, and wonderful for children. A must read for adults? No, thank you. Longer than it needs to be and not really particularly interesting.
