[Gutenberg 44428] • The Days of Chivalry; Or, The Legend of Croquemitaine

Excerpt from The Days of Chivalry, or the Legend of Croquemitaine

Adhere as closely as possible to the text. Adaptations and versions, whether presented on the stage or set down in black and white, seem to claim for those, who give them in English, a greater share Of the glory than I feel myself to deserve, in the slightest degree, in this instance. The delicacy with which the moral is interwoven in the narrative, without in the least injuring the true legendary tone of the adventures related, is as far beyond any improvement I could malke, as it is above the usual clap-trap tag with which dramas and children's stories are ordinarily.
