The author, a true son of the Rhineland, draws on the wealth of legend and fable to produce in a masterly manner and in the most beautiful poetic language now the more gentle old stories, now the more tragically stirring events of the ancient past. These collected Germanic stories drawn from popular and classic tales and operas include such well-known ancient tales from the Rhine region includes The Nibelungen Song, The Mouse Tower, The Blind Archer, The Templars, The Legend of the Dragon, and many others.
