Reseña del editor:

Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the undeservedly neglected books of the series are two collections of true stories. Here there are no fairies, no witches, no giants, but there is a beautiful maiden who, though not a princess, is honest, strong, brave, and beloved by all good people. Joining her in this collection are soldiers, sailors, pirates, adventurers and explorers. There are brave men fighting for king and country, explorers crossing vast deserts and uncharted seas, and ordinary men and women who did the right thing, even when it was dangerous.

Among the stories in this volume are the mutiny on the Bounty; the gallant attempt by Bonnie Prince Charlie to reclaim his family's rightful throne; the conquest of Peru; sagas of the Vikings; tales from Froissart, the chivalrous chronicler of the Hundred Years' War; the life of Joan of Arc; and the adventures of Napoleon's general Marbot with his faithful mare Lisette.
