Now, in this book, we have made the old romances much shorter, keeping the liveliest parts, in which curious things happen. Some of the tales were first told in Iceland eight hundred years ago, and are mostly true and about real people. Some are from the ancient French romances of the adventures of Charlemagne, and his peers and paladins. Some are from later Italian poems of the same kind. 'Cupid and Psyche' is older, and so is the story of the man who was changed into a donkey. These are from an old Latin romance, written when people were still heathens, most of them. Some are about the Danes in England (of whom you may have heard), but there is not much history in them.

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

Excerpt from The Red Romance Book Now, in this book, we have made the old romances much shorter, keeping the liveliest parts, in which curious things happen. Some of the tales were first told in Iceland eight hundred years ago, and are mostly true and about real people. Some are from the ancient French romances of the adventures of Charlemagne, and his peers and paladins. Some are from later Italian poems of the same kind. Cupid and Psyche is older, and so is the story of the man who was changed into a donkey. These are from an old Latin romance, written when people were still heathens, most of them. Some are about the Danes in England (of whom you may have heard), but there is not much history in them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Red Romance Book: Tales of Knights, Dragons & High Adventure is a book of heroic tales and legends. The Red True Story Book needs no long Introduction. The Editor, in presenting The Blue True Story Book, apologised for offering tales so much less thrilling and romantic than the legends of the Fairies, but he added that even real facts were, sometimes, curious and interesting.

Now what are romances They are grown-up people's fairy tales or story-books, but they are the kind of story books that grown-up people read long ago, when there were castles and knights, and tournaments, and the chief business of gentlemen was to ride about in full armour, fighting, while ladies sat at home doing embroidery work, or going to see the men tilt at tournaments, just as they go to see cricket matches now. But they liked tournaments better, because they understood the rules of the game. Anybody could see when one knight knocked another down, horse and all, but many ladies do not understand leg before wicket, or stumping
