Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Legends This little book follows the general design of The Book of Fables and the Book of folk Stories. Literature, in one form or another, recognizes a number of stories which are current in many tongues, and may or may not have had a single origin. Such is the tale of William Tell. There are legends also which sprang up in the popular mind about some hero of real life, and, in ages which knew a marked separation between literate and literate, these stories, treasured by uncritical minds, came to express in supernatural terms facts and incidents which at other times would have been held fast in more exact biography. Such are the legends of "Saint Christopher" and "Saint George and the Dragon." Again, there are stories like "The Bell of Justice" and ´The Image and the Treasure" which were the invention of mediæval preachers of lively turn of imagination, and have found a place in such collections as Gesta Romanorum.
