Specificatii
Fifteen exciting stories from the Medieval era of Knights, Courtly
Love, and Chivalry, selected, arranged, and retold by Marion
Florence Lansing. Beginning with the immortal story of King Arthur
and the Knights of the Round Table, the book also covers Sir Gawain
and the Green Knight, and Arthur's passing, before moving on to the
era of Charlemagne. Here, drawing upon real life events of such
magnitude that they quickly passed into legend, the reader will
find the stories of Roland and his death, Godfrey and the Crusades,
the origin of the story of St. George and the Dragon, and Chevalier
Bayard, among many others. Originally aimed at younger readers, the
author inserted guide notes for teachers, suggesting themes for
educating the young, and further reading suggestions at the end of
the book. This work contains all the original text and its
accompanying beautiful illustrations, and has been complete reset
and digitally restored to better than original quality. It sets
forth in simple story form the development and progress of
knighthood from the time of St. George, who won his spurs by
killing the dragon, to the founding, a thousand years later, of the
order which bore his name and embodied in its ritual the highest
ceremonial of chivalry. With its explanation of the meaning of the
degrees of knighthood, its description of quests and tourneys, and
its outline of the great events of chivalry, this volume will serve
as a good introduction to the later reading of the child in
Arthurian and other romance, and in the history of Charlemagne's
wars and the crusades. Chivalry ceased to be of practical value
only when the conditions of civilization called for men of peace
rather than war, and the perfect knight was replaced by the perfect
gentleman.-from the Preface. Illustrated by Charles Copeland.
