More than four hundred years ago there lived in England a poet named Edmund Spenser (1552 – 1599). He was brave and true and gentle, and he loved all that was beautiful and good.
Edmund Spenser wrote many poems, and the most beautiful of all is the one called ‘The Faerie Queen’ from which the 8 illustrated stories in this volume are taken.
While there are many, many stories in ‘The Faerie Queen,’ Jeanie Lang, niece to the great Andrew Lang, and out of them all she has retold eight in story form. Each story has an illustration drawn by Miss Rose Le Quesne.

Una and the Lion
St. George and the Dragon
Britomart and the Magic Mirror
The Quest of Sir Guyon
Pastorella
Cambell and Triamond
Marinell, the Sea-Nymph’s Son
Florimell and the Witch
Within each story is a virtue and a moral to teach children how to live a good life.
