Excerpt from Popular Romances of the Middle AgesThe proposition that King Arthur either is or is not an historical personage will be disputed by none. Happily the answer to this question, whether it be given in the affirmative 'or the negative, has really nothing to do with the origin of the world-renowned story as told by Jeffrey of Monmouth, or by Sir Thomas Malory. Whatever may have been the deeds of the real Arthur, if Arthur ever really lived, they exhibit scarcely a single feature in common with the fortunes and exploits of the lord of the Round Table, and the illustrious knights who went in search of the Holy Grail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Popular Romances of the Middle AgesThese two conditions have, it is hoped, been strictly observed in the versions here given of these romances. While special care has been taken to guard against the introduction even of phrases not in harmony with the original narratives, not less pains have been bestowed on the task of preserving all that is essential in the narrative; and thus it may perhaps be safely said that the readers of this volume will obtain from it some adequate know ledge of the tales without having their attention and their patience overtaxed by a multiplicity of superfluous and therefore irksome details. Of the present version of the Arthur story, the most celebrated perhaps of all, it may be enough to say that it relates many important episodes which have been omitted in the versions recently published, while no attempt has been made to impart to the romance a more historical complexion than that which it received at the hands of Caxton's friend.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book Fairy tales, wonder tales, magic tales are a folklore genre taking the form of a short story that typically includes magical beings such as dragons, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids, talking animals, trolls, unicorns, or witches. Generally, magic or enchantments are involved. Fairy tales are distinguished from legends, are mainly derived from European tradition and folk lore, and are generally children's literature. Mythology has a broader and older pedigree than fairy tales, dating back to ancient times in a number of European, African, Middle Eastern and Asian civilizations. Best known among these to Western audiences are Ancient Greek and Old Norse myths and legends. Generally, these myths and legends describe epic quests, journeys and interactions between human adventurers or heroes and god-like deities.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Excerpt from The Second BloomingHe was a handsome man of about forty-five, so tall that, as he spoke to his sister-in-law, he leant over her, his heavy, fair moustache close to the dark, warm gold of her hair. She looked up at him amusedly, wondering what there was so comforting in his bigness, the brick-like sunburn of his cheeks that threw a paleness of contrast over his moustache and his thick grey hair.Do you know, Harry, she said suddenly, you're really a very handsome man.My dear Grace! Protested the man, rather loud in his surprise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The gratifying success of a previous volume of “Amateur Dramas,” and the increasing demand for pieces of a light character suitable for representation without the usual costly theatrical accessories, has induced the writer to prepare a second volume for publication. Like the first, it contains pieces which have been specially prepared for occasional exhibitions, society benefits, and parlor theatricals, and which have only been admitted to “the mimic stage” after having stood the test of public approval. For their production, no scenery is required. A moderate-sized room, having folding-doors or hanging curtains to separate the audience from the actors; costumes such as the modern wardrobe will easily supply, with now and then a foray on some good old grandmother's trunks; a wig or two; a few pieces of chalk; red paint; and India-ink,-is all the “extraordinary preparations” and “great expense” necessary.
