About this book
Paul the Minstrel and Other Stories gathers the allegorical fairy tales of Arthur Christopher Benson, drawn from his earlier collections The Hill of Trouble and The Isles of Sunset. These are not nursery rhymes but grave and beautiful stories for older readers, set in imagined lands of castles, forests, and quiet magic. A minstrel, a scholar, or a lonely lord meets some strange trial or temptation, and the tale turns on a moral and spiritual lesson told without preaching. Benson writes in a calm, haunting style that owes something to medieval legend and something to his own reflective faith. This free PDF and EPUB presents the complete collection for readers who love thoughtful, literary fantasy.
