The Book of Romance is a collection of romantic stories and legends from various cultures and time periods, compiled by the renowned Scottish writer and folklorist, Andrew Lang. Originally published in 1902, this book features tales of love, adventure, and heroism, ranging from ancient myths and legends to medieval romances and fairy tales. Lang draws from a wide range of sources, including Greek and Roman mythology, Arthurian legends, and tales from the Middle East, India, and Scandinavia. The stories are presented in Lang's signature style, with lively and engaging prose that captures the imagination and transports readers to far-off lands and times. The Book of Romance is a timeless classic that continues to enchant readers with its tales of love and adventure.1902. While best known for his translations of classical literature and as a collector of folk and fairy tales, Lang also wrote poetry, biographies, histories, novels, literary criticisms and even children's books. Lang describes romances as a mixture of popular tales, of literary invention and of history as transmitted in legend and in his opinion are only fairy tales for grownups. This volume is a collection of Tales of the Round Table, The Battle of Roncevalles, The Pursuit of Diarmid, Some Adventures of William Short Nose, Wayland the Smith, The Story of Robin Hood and The Story of Grettir the Strong.
