About this book
Legends & Romances of Brittany is by Lewis Spence. The preface says that although the folk-tales and legends of Brittany have received ample attention from native scholars and collectors, they have not as yet been presented in a popular manner to English-speaking readers. During the latter half of the tenth and most of the eleventh century, the Counts of Rennes gained an almost complete ascendancy in Brittany. In 992 Geoffrey, son of Conan, Count of Rennes, adopted the title of Duke of Brittany.
A little white dove is sent to a son with a letter tied to its neck with the ribbon of a wedding-dress. Silvestik rests in the shade of an English wood, and as he does so a familiar note falls upon his ear. An entry reads: Joyous Garden, a garden raised by enchantment by Merlin to please Vivien.
