Caution on THIS edition!,
By
This review is from: The Ballad Of White Horse (Paperback)
G.K. Chesterton's classic Epic Poem is a masterpiece and gets a 5 Star Rating by every English professor on earth. But this particular edition, the paperback printed by Quiet Vision Publishing, is worthless! As soon as you turn the page, each and every one, it comes out of the binding and falls on the floor! Somebody needs to report that company to the BBB.

Epic Poetry-A Must Read,
By Nancy Carpentier Brown (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ballad Of White Horse (Paperback)
G.K. Chesterton's masterpiece, and the work he himself considered his best, is a must read for everyone interested in history, literature and great poetry. King Alfred of England is almost forgotten as the hero of the times--the 800's, when Viking raiders continuously challenged the people living on the island that was to become England. If not for King Alfred, England would now be Norway or Daneland.
The whistling rock, the white horse on the hill, romance and chivarly live on in this masterfully woven tale of history.

Call of the hero,

This review is from: The Ballad Of White Horse (Paperback)
Chesterton expressed his passion for history and sacrificial heroism in this ballad. If you enjoy the imagery and values of Arthur, CS Lewis and the Iliad, you will enjoy this short book. "Heart of the heroes, ride!"
