Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry, Selected and Arranged by William Patten (Hardcover)

Give young readers heroes worth following.

Before superheroes, there were knights, kings, outlaws, and heroes worth remembering.

Swords are drawn. Kingdoms are contested. Knights ride into danger. Loyalty is tested, courage has consequences, and honor is something a hero has to earn.

First published as part of The Junior Classics: A Library for Boys and Girls in 1912, Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry has been introducing young readers to the great adventure stories of the Western tradition for more than a century. The collection was selected and arranged by William Patten, Managing Editor of the Harvard Classics, with the original series carrying an introduction by Harvard President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot and a reading guide by Harvard English professor William Allan Neilson.

Inside are King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Sir Launcelot, Galahad and Percivale, the Mabinogion, Chaucer, the Cid, Robin Hood, Don Quixote, and other enduring tales of courage, loyalty, sacrifice, adventure, and chivalry.

This Civics & Canon edition forms part of Trumpet Publishing House's historic restoration project, returning important works to young readers in editions created to be read, treasured, and handed down. Edited and designed by Graciela T. Pavan, the edition restores the visual life of this heritage collection for a new generation while preserving the stories, literary character, and substance that made The Junior Classics an enduring library for young readers.

This is classic literature with adventure still inside it: quests and battles, loyalty and betrayal, courage and consequence, and heroes and heroines whose choices still ask something of the reader more than a century later.

Give them heroes before the world chooses their heroes for them.
