“Stories of Norse Heroes From the Eddas and Sagas,” retold by E. M. Wilmot-Buxton.
These are tales which the Northmen tell concerning the wisdom of All-Father Odin, and how all things began and how they ended. A good book for all children, and for story-tellers.
“The Story of Siegfried,” by James Baldwin.
A good introduction to this Northern hero whose strange and daring deeds fill the pages of the old sagas.
“The Story of King Arthur and His Knights,” written and illustrated by Howard Pyle.
This, and the companion volumes, “The Story of the Champions of the Round Table,” “The Story of Sir Launcelot and His Companions,” “The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur,” form an incomparable collection for children.
“The Boy’s King Arthur,” edited by Sidney Lanier, illustrated by N. C. Wyeth.
A very good rendering of Malory’s King Arthur, made especially attractive by the coloured illustrations.
“Irish Fairy Tales,” by James Stephens, illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
