A beautiful chante fable, or Song-Story of the Troubadours, from a Manuscript of the XII. Century. Translated by A. Rodney Macdonough. With an introduction by Edmund C. Stedman, the poet-critic, who says: “The devisers of the present translation of this charming little romance could hardly have hit upon a more tasteful variation from the conventional holiday-book. The work itself is instinct with the beauty of nature and the spirit of poesy, when skies were fair and poesy was young.... It is creditable to American bookcraft that this pearl of mediæval literature should be so exquisitely reset.”
