The sword in the stone by Anne Terry White
T. H. White wrote The Sword in the Stone.
There is no mention of a precious stone in the story of King Arthur. However, the famous sword Excalibur is often referred to as the Sword in the Stone.
"The Sword in the Stone" was written by T.H. White. It is a novel that is part of "The Once and Future King," a series of books based on the legend of King Arthur.
The story about King Arthur is called Excalibur. In the story King Arthur himself is the one who managed to pull the sword out of the stone. The name of the sword is Excalibur.
England/Great Britain. The story is from The Once and Future King by T.H. White and it is a wonderful "read."

The Wart knows the sword in the stone is no ordinary sword because he sees that it is stuck securely in the stone, defying all efforts to remove it by those who attempted before him. This extraordinary feat leads him to believe there is something special about the sword.
Arthur got the sword out of the stone and was crownd the rightful king because he was son of the king and queen.
excaliber? the sword was not officially named in the movie but being a story of Merlin and a VERY young king Arthur it is safe to guess excalibur.
There is some confusion about which sword was actually in the Stone. In some versions, Excalibur is the only sword in the story and the name Excalibur comes from the Welsh Caledfwlch. However, other stories have Arthur being given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake some time after he began his reign (after he breaks the Sword in the Stone while fighting Lancelot).Arthur is a legend with many sources: Welsh, Irish, British and Norman.
No. It is an off shoot of the Arthur legend.
