Here, in a dazzling panoply, are the legendary figures from the age of chivalry: King Arthur, Robin Hood, Richard the Lionhearted, and a host of other famous and lesser-known characters. Thomas Bulfinch's skillful storytelling not only relates the myths and legends surrounding these folkloric and historic personalities but also discusses their roles in literature and art, with numerous allusions to poetry and paintings.

AUTHOR: American author Thomas Bulfinch (17961867) was steeped in classical culture from an early age, attending the Boston Latin School, Phillips Exeter Academy, and Harvard College. His first book, The Age of Fable, told of gods and heroes as portrayed in the works of Ovid and Virgil. It was later combined with The Age of Chivalry and Legends of Charlemagne in a single volume known as Bulfinch's Mythology, which has entertained and educated generations of children and adults.
