Presents a facsimile reprint of Thomas Bulfinch's "Mythology: The Age of Chivalry," which recounts the myths, fables, and legends of ancient cultures from around the world.

Whether one's favorite knight is the peerless Don Quixote of La Mancha or one of the bold, dashing figures who circled King Arthur's table, the romance and excitement of the days of chivalry will come to life in A. R. Hope Moncrieff's "Romance and Legend of Chivalry". Some of the verse and prose tales presented here are based on historical events, enlivened and perhaps a bit distorted by the romantic imagination, Others, more conscious mixtures of fact and fantasy, are as exciting and picturesque as any current science fiction flight of fancy.

Contains nine stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table drawn from the writings of fifteenth century knight and adventurer Thomas Malory. Features normalized spelling and footnotes.

Inspired by The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.

Contains adaptations of legends connected to King Arthur and his knights, the knights of English history, and other characters from the Age of Chivalry, including Robin Hood, and the Lady of the Fountain.
