Reviews
Mediaeval Tales is the 18th book in the Morley's Universal Library publisher series and contains four mediaeval stories;
- History of Charles the Great and Orlando, ascribed to Archbishop Turpin
- Ballad romance touching the days of Charlemagne by John Gibson Lockhart
- Gesta Romanorum
- Doctor Faustus by Goethe, an old translation which was the first source of the Faust legend in literature
I didn't find it particularly enthralling for the most part. If you don't have a copy of Doctor Faustus it show more may be worth picking up for that in an appealing format, yet I wasn't particularly taken with the first three entries in this compendium of tales. show less
