This collection retells the great heroic legends of the British Isles—the deeds of Beowulf, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Hereward the Wake, and other champions of English, Welsh, and Norse tradition—in vivid, accessible prose. Gathering the myths and sagas that shaped the national imagination, it brings ancient tales of courage, monsters, and honor to new readers. Richly illustrated in its original edition and warmly told, it is a treasury of the founding stories of British legend. For lovers of mythology and folklore, Hero-Myths & Legends of the British Race is an engaging introduction to the epic heroes and enduring legends of Britain's storied past.
