H. E. Marshall
Stories of Roland told to the Children
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform April 21, 2014)
In "Stories of Roland Told to the Children," author H. E. Marshall effectively preserves the language of the time period it represents, and her literary devices are gripping. There's no "dumbing down" for the sake of the children, but rather challenges them to think, decipher, and draw conclusions, all the while keeping it entertaining. As a piece to go with the grown-up version of Roland, this story brings the past to life. Accessible to children and can be read at the same time as the Story of Roland. Interesting tale and an invaluable piece of history. The book relates how Roland follows the bravest knights of Charlemagne into battle, how Roland and Oliver meet their deaths, of Charlemagne's vengeance on Marsil and of the punishment of the traitor Ganelon.
