This Is Of Auccassin And Nicolette: A Song-tale Of True Lovers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781286608074)

"This Is of Aucassin and Nicolette" is a charming medieval song-tale recounting the trials and tribulations of two young lovers. Aucassin, son of Count Garin of Beaucaire, is so consumed by his love for Nicolette, a captive maiden, that he neglects his knightly duties. His father threatens to disinherit him if he does not abandon her. Nicolette, resourceful and equally devoted, escapes her captivity to be with Aucassin.

Their love is tested by separation, misunderstandings, and perilous adventures as they navigate a world of warring lords, fantastical creatures, and mistaken identities. The story blends elements of courtly love, adventure, and satire, offering a unique perspective on medieval society and its values. Despite the obstacles, their unwavering affection for each other ultimately triumphs, leading to a joyous reunion and a happy resolution. This timeless tale continues to enchant readers with its wit, romance, and enduring message of love's power.
