Book Description

Excerpt from Tales From Spenser: Chosen From the Faerie Queene In his day men knew far less about the laws of nature than we do, and what they did not understand they said was worked by magical or 'faery' power. Poets and dramatists were not ashamed to believe m witches and signs and wonders, and when they wished to make their heroes and heroines do difiicult deeds, they imagined a ghost who gave a message, a witch who prophesied, a half-magic prince who helped their ordinary men and women, and no one thought they were foolish or superstitious in doing so.
