The Red Romance Book - Tales Of Knights, Dragons & High Adventure (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781443739368)

"The Red Romance Book: Tales of Knights, Dragons & High Adventure" is a book of tales of heroism and legend, edited by Andrew Lang. It was first published in 1905. The stories were mostly taken from various sagas and chivalric romances, including "The Story of Burnt Njal", "Orlando Furioso", "The Faerie Queene", and "Don Quixote". This wonderful collection would make for a great addition to any bookshelf, and it is not to be missed by collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. The stories include: "How William of Palermo was carried off by the Werewolf", "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", and many more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
