Here you will find the adventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and their Quest for the Holy Grail. Here are Roland and the Paladins of France, facing down the entire army of Spain. Here are Robin Hood and his Merry Men in Sherwood Forest, robbing the rich to feed the poor. Here is William Short-Nose, the defender of Provence, and his friend Rainouart the giant. Here also are many more brave knights and fair ladies, all breathing the spirit of chivalry.

Rossignol Books

Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the lesser-known books of the series are two books of true stories about animals. This book deals with more exotic beasts than "The Animal Story Book". You'll find stories about rhinos, kangaroos, orangutans, panthers, buffalo, llamas, reindeer, and even dinosaurs. There are also chapters about mythical beasts such as basilisks, griffins and unicorns. Among the stories in this volume are: Beowulf, and his fight against a dragon; The autobiography of a lion-tamer; Saint Jerome, the translator of the Bible, and his pet lion; Dogs and horses who were taught to steal by their owners; The life of Tom, a dancing bear; Maldonada, an Argentinian girl who was left to die in the jungle, but was saved by a puma. And many more. Why buy the Rossinol edition? It is neither OCR'd nor photocopied. It includes all the original illustrations. It is properly formatted.
