Stories from the faerie queene

by Mary MacLeod


Description: A splendid retelling in prose of Edmund Spenser's English epic poem, The Faerie Queene, that is enjoyable on its own, while also providing background for reading the poem itself, as well as exciting interest in doing so. With the story and characters firmly fixed in mind, the reader will more easily navigate the archaic spelling and poetic form of the original.
