A must-read for any bibliophile

For anyone who has read or enjoys reading classical English literature, this is a must-have companion. It retells many stories whose characters and events are mentioned in other notable works. I found it quite easy to understand and would recommend it to everyone.

The Age of Chivalry

This Better Days Books edition of Thomas Bullfinch's classic "The Age of Chivalry" IS NOT an electronic version, as the misplaced product description on this page implies. It is a vintage reprint edition, in quality trade paperback format, lovingly reproduced with black and white interior illustrations that help to bring these timeless Arthurian tales to full and vibrant life. We here at Better Days Books have tried repeatedly to get the product description on this page corrected, to no avail. This really is a fabulous book that every boy should own - but please be aware that it is just that - a paperback book! Thank you!
