Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry (Paperback)

Restored Classic / Chivalric Adventure / Character Formation / Collector's Edition

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 Collector's 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.

For adventurous readers, homeschool families, classical educators, grandparents, collectors, and parents building a lasting home library, Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry offers something increasingly rare: a collection designed to entertain children while introducing them to stories generations once knew by heart.

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