A good redaction of "The Song of Roland", Ariosto, and Boiardo suitable for children. The pictures are good.
Originally written in 1883. (there's very little sex!) (

Haven't read it yet, kind of like King Arthur, nice pictures, my copy is kind of torn up but still readable.

Book description

Here are related the daring feats and great exploits of Roland, worthiest of the barons of France in the time of Charlemagne, and those of Oliver and Reinold and Ogier the Dane, all heroes who were his companions in arms and who rivalled him in the number and greatness of their exploits. The story is culled from the works of song-writers and poets of five centuries and in as many languages. Suitable for ages 11 and up.
