* A UNIQUE collection of romantic stories from the 12th – 15th centuries. * Authentically and entertainingly retold from translations of the original, very lengthy and complex texts. * Almost thirty stories – both famous and little known – from England, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Wales. * Dramatic adventures in courtly love, mystical passion, bawdy and jocular tales, tragedy, scandal and feminist longing. * Written by a highly acclaimed expert in world legends * Essential reading for anyone interested in the popular thought and culture of the Middle Ages

'Rosalind Kerven, connoisseur of myths and folktales… has translated and condensed sprawling, beautiful but inaccessible original texts from the 12th to 15th centuries into concise, elegant tales. Capturing Christian, Muslim and folk influences at play in western Europe during this period, they celebrate romantic love at the same time as offering some salient points of comparison.' – THE INDEPENDENT
