Comprised of nineteen tales, The Book of Romance by Andrew and Leonora
Lang is an adventurous 19th century collection of ancient lore. After
the death of their king, the lands of Britian were left without a ruler,
but received a prophecy from the great wizard, Merlin. He told the
kingdom that their new king would emerge after proving themselves worthy
of Excalibur, a might sword stuck in a stone. As the nation waited,
Arthur, a meek, unexpecting boy, attempted to retrieve the sword not for
himself, but on behalf of another. However, as the young boy pulled
Excalibur out of its sheath of stone, he proved himself noble and
deserving of the throne, thus beginning a new era. Featuring the
adventures of popular members of King Arthur's court, such as Sir
Lancelot, Sir Percival, Merlin, Sir Bors, and Guinevere, The Book of
Romance depicts familiar stories in an original and charming way. With
dragons, quests, magic, knights, and adventures, this captivating
collection allows readers to divulge into the medieval culture of King
Arthur's reign. This edition of The Book of Romance by Andrew and
Leonora Lang now features an eye-catching new cover design and is
printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition of The Book of Romance creates an
accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while
restoring the original imagination and mastery of Andrew and Leonora
Lang's work.
