5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book of stories from the past, August 6, 2002

David Butterfield "botteville" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stories Of Romance: From The Age of Chivalry (Hardcover)

These stories were taken from the poetic romances mainly of the 14th century, formally labelled "the middle ages", though somewhat past that. The tales perhaps descend from much earlier. The prose is modern and simple. There are stories from William and the Werewolf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, King Horn, Guy of Warwick, and others, some 44 tales, collected into a wonderful book of short stories. The book is illustrated with 50 woodcuts. The cover and spine are gold embossed in the manner of mediaeval manuscript illumination, the most beautiful I've seen in an ordinary book of such wide distribution and low price. The paper is good quality. Read this book to escape and relax before going to bed.
