But just as important to Western culture are the stories of the great heroes and villains of the Middle Ages, whose deeds have reverberated through the centuries. This thrilling collection from folklorist H. A. Guerber collects dozens of stories about these larger-than-life characters as they pursue mythic quests for lofty (and sometimes not so lofty) goals.
