Description
The preface of the book gives credit to Mrs.Lang for these beautful stories which she did out of old romances, the editing being the work of Andrew Lang. Which ever one may deserve the "lion's share" of the authorship we welcome this charming collection of tales which are worthy the author from whom we have been accustomed, for many years, to expect the most beautiful of modern fairy tales. There is no danger of being forced to take the editor's advice: if we do not like one story to try another. From the moment we fell under the spell of William and the Werwolf there was not a doubt in our minds that every one of these classic romances must be read in regular order from beginning to end. A book of such rare literary merit, so exquisitely bound and illustrated is a valuable addition to young people's libraries. This book is fully illustrated and annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer. Contents: Preface How William Of Palermo Was Carried Off By The Werwolf The Disenchantment Of The Werwolf The Slaying Of Hallgerda’s Husbands The Death Of Gunnar Njal’s Burning The Lady Of Solace Una And The Lion How The Red Cross Knight Slew The Dragon Amys And Amyle The Tale Of The Cid The Knight Of The Sorrowful Countenance The Adventure Of The Two Armies Who Turned Out To Be Flocks Of Sheep The Adventure Of The Bobbing Lights The Helmet Of Mambrino How Don Quixote Was Enchanted While Guarding The Castle Don Quixote’s Home-Coming The Meeting Of Huon And Oberon, King Of The Fairies How Oberon Saved Huon Havelok And Goldborough Cupid And Psyche Sir Bevis The Strong Ogier The Dane How The Ass Became A Man Again Guy Of Warwick How Bradamante Conquered The Wizard The Ring Of Bradamante The Fulfilling Of The Prophecy The Knight Of The Sun How The Knight Of The Sun Rescued His Father
