Brimming with romance and adventure, this thrilling treasury brings the epic sagas and legends of the Middle Ages vividly to life.
Its evocative, stirring tales recall a time of enchantment...an age of spell-casting wizards, ill-fated lovers and warrior kings, valiant knights, beautiful damsels and noble quests.
Within its pages you'll meet such legendary figures as King Arthur, Queen Guenever, Sir Launcelot, Merlin, Richard the Lion-Hearted, and Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest.
You'll also encounter heroes and heroines less well known: the lovely Isabella, whose only wish was to take up her dead lover's sword; Ogier the Dane, who, it is said, lives to this day on the isle of Avalon with the sorceress Morgana; Edward the Black Prince, victor at the battlefields of Crecy and Poitiers; the Irish beauty Branwen, the fairest damsel in the world; and the mighty Charlemagne himself, to name but a few.
The Age of Chivalry and The Legends of Charlemagne constitute a truly enthralling masterwork of myth, magic, and adventure, a classic treasury that deserves to be part of every home library.
