Retold by Joseph Bédier, Translated by Hilaire Belloc and Completed by Paul Rosenfeld.
Joseph Bédier, poet and scholar, has succeeded in weaving the fragmentary Versions of various mediaeval poets into a single fresh and absorbing tale. The story of the two lovers of Cornwall, of their enchantment, their joys and many tribulations and their undying passion unfolds in tense, dramatic scenes against the vivid and authentic background of the Middle Ages - a world of splendor and high adventure.
