Book Description
Excerpt from New Plays From Old Tales Arranged for Boys and Girls By boys and girls in the Reading Clubs of the New York Public Library. Because they found favor with parents and friends of club members we venture to share them with a larger audience. The purpose of story telling and club work in the library is to arouse deeper and more varied interests in reading. This has influenced the choice of stories dramatized. We have tried to keep the style and charm of the master story tellers whose work we have adapted, and trust that the plays will be given with due regard for literary atmosphere and appropriate settings. The stage may be small and arrangements simple but imagination and fancy need not be limited. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Knights and ladies, giants and dragons, tournaments, battles, quests and crusades are commonplace in stories for children. This book examines how late Victorians and Edwardians retold medieval narratives of chivalry--epics, romances, sagas, legends and ballads. Stories of Beowulf, Arthur, Gawain, St. George, Roland, Robin Hood and many more thrilled and instructed children, and encouraged adult reading. Lavish volumes and schoolbooks of the era featured illustrated texts, many by major artists. Children's books, an essential part of Edwardian publishing, were disseminated throughout the English-speaking world. Many are being reprinted today. This book examines related contexts of Medievalism expressed in painting, architecture, music and public celebrations, and the works of major authors, including Sir Walter Scott, Tennyson, Longfellow and William Morris. The book explores national identity expressed through literature, ideals of honor and valor in the years before World War I, and how childhood reading influenced 20th-century writers as diverse as C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Siegfried Sassoon, David Jones, Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John Le Carre.
