Both driven by honour and love, the strength of their friendship is tested through the tournament and the subsequent abduction of Hildegardis.Ghosts and witches, magic and combat, abound in this tale of love and friendship.

Aslauga's Knight: Autumn (Four Seasons)

'A boy, pale as death, rushed into the hall, uttering a wild scream of terror. "Death and another are closely pursuing me!"'Sintram spends his life torn between the life he leads in his father's castle, where they keep alive many of the more violent Viking traditions of their ancestors, and that of the pious lifestyle of his mother and the Chaplain of Drontheim. When distant French relations, in the form of the infamous Folko of Montfaucon and his lady-wife Gabrielle, come to Norway and become guests of his father, Sintram's life is further complicated by his wish to become a knight as chivalrous as Folko and his infatuation with the beautiful Gabrielle.With the ever reliable Rolf at his side, Sintram must navigate the wildness in his nature, and his native landscape, in a bid to find the cause of the nightmares he experiences every Christmastide, and the true identities of the Crazy Pilgrim and the Little Master.This edition contains 20 full page black & white illustrations by E. J. Sullivan (1869-1933)

Undine

Undine By Friedrich de la Motte Fouque With foreword by Charlotte M Yonge

This classic story comes from the French folk-tale Melusine and has gone on to inspire many works including plays, operas, and other stories as well. In it, Undine, a water spirit, marries a knight in order to gain a soul. Similar to the tale of the Little Mermaid, Undine explores the romance, mystery, and majesty of love.

Undine by Friedrich De La Motte Fouque. Translated by F. E. Bunnett. A Fairy-Tale Novella. Undine is a fairy-tale novella by Friedrich de la Motte Fouque in which Undine, a water spirit, marries a knight named Huldebrand in order to gain a soul. It is an early German romance, which has been translated into English and other languages. During the nineteenth century the book was very popular and was, according to The Times in 1843, "a book which, of all others, if you ask for it at a foreign library, you are sure to find engaged". The story is descended from Melusine, the French folk-tale of a water-sprite who marries a knight on condition that he shall never see her on Saturdays, when she resumes her mermaid shape. It was also inspired by works by the occultist Paracelsus. An unabridged English translation of the story by William Leonard Courtney and illustrated by Arthur Rackham was published in 1909. George Macdonald thought Undine "the most beautiful" of all fairy stories, while Lafcadio Hearn referred to Undine as a "fine German story" in his essay "The Value of the Supernatural in Fiction". The references to Undine in such works as Charlotte Yonge's The Daisy Chain and Louisa Alcott's Little Women show that it was one of the best loved of all books for many 19th-century children.
