'Dragons, Heroes, Myths & Magic' presents 50 of the very first adventure stories. Ranging from long and complex epics developed around historical figures, to smaller, vibrant tales absorbing local characters on the periphery. Marvellously varied, surprising and enlightening, featuring both the stories and art behind Merlin, Christine de Pisan, Sir Gawain, Renard the Fox, Dante and Beatrice, the Odyssey, Saint Brendon and Tristan and Isolde, this book provides an intimate insight into the Medieval mind.
