About this title

Synopsis

Ten illustrated stories from the song of Roland, simply but effectively told, relating how Roland follows the bravest knights of Charlemagne into battle, how Roland and Oliver meet their deaths, of Charlemagne's vengeance on Marsil the Saracen and of the punishment of the traitor Ganelon. The treatment is romantic, the style picturesque. An excellent introduction to this legend for children ages 8 and up.
