Stories from the Faerie Queene
Stories from the Faerie Queene retells Edmund Spenser's allegorical romance in prose for young readers, with an introduction by the scholar John W. Hales and drawings by A. G. Walker. Mary Macleod follows the poem book by book in short chapters: the Red Cross Knight and Una against Error, Duessa and the giant Orgoglio, the Cave of Despair and the dragon; Sir Guyon and the Cave of Mammon; the warrior maiden Britomart and her quest; Sir Artegall, his iron servant Talus and the Amazon queen Radigund; and Sir Calidore's pursuit of the Blatant Beast. Spenser's own lines appear here and there, and the retelling keeps the knightly adventures while easing the allegory. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
