WARNING: Be aware before purchasing that this book contains a scene where an evil wizard tries to convince a knight to commit suicide, which may be unsuitable for younger readers. Please preview the passage at our website before purchasing this book for a child. http: //... Why buy the Rossignol edition? It is neither OCR'd nor photocopied. It includes all the original illustrations. It is properly formatted. Paragraphs are justified. Chapter titles are centered. Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the undeservedly neglected books of the series are two collections of romances of chivalry. Here are gallant knights, travelling the world in search of adventure, fighting wicked men, slaying monsters, and rescuing damsels in distress. Here you will find the most noble, generous, and chivalrous knight of them all, Don Quixote of La Mancha. Here is Apuleius the Roman, who hires a witch to change him into a nightingale, but becomes a donkey instead. Here is the Red Cross Knight and his beloved Una, seeking to slay a ferocious dragon. Here is Ogier the Dane, the brave knight of Charlemagne's, who won the love of Morgan le Fay and went to live with her in Avalon. Here is Huon of Bordeaux, and his friend Oberon, the king of the fairies. Here are Bevis of Hampton and Guy of Warwick, the bravest knights who ever lived in England, after the days of the Round Table. Here are Amys and Amyle, the faithful friends; Havelock the banished prince; William of Palermo, who was raised by a friendly were-wolf; and many more. Rossignol Books is proud to present lesser-known children's books. Please support us by writing a review of this book after you purchase it. ...
