Ride into the heroic world of medieval France in this stirring retelling of one of Europe’s greatest epic legends.

In Stories of Roland Told to the Children, celebrated storyteller H. E. Marshall introduces younger readers to the legendary adventures of Roland, the fearless knight whose courage and loyalty were immortalized in the great medieval epic The Song of Roland. Filled with battles, honor, betrayal, and heroic sacrifice, this classic volume captures the spirit of chivalry and adventure that has inspired readers for centuries.

Set during the reign of Charlemagne, the stories follow Roland and the knights of France as they fight to defend their king and kingdom against enemies across the mountains and battlefields of medieval Europe. At the heart of the tale lies the famous Battle of Roncevaux Pass, where Roland and his companions make their heroic last stand against overwhelming odds, choosing honor and duty above life itself.

Marshall’s vivid storytelling brings the medieval world to life with clarity and excitement while preserving the grandeur and emotional power of the original legends. Readers encounter legendary knights, enchanted swords, treacherous rivals, and dramatic struggles between loyalty and ambition. Themes of courage, sacrifice, friendship, and devotion to duty resonate throughout the narrative, introducing readers to the ideals of medieval chivalry and epic heroism.

More than an adventure story, Stories of Roland Told to the Children introduces readers to one of the foundational works of medieval European literature and legend. Its tales helped shape centuries of romance, epic poetry, and heroic storytelling.

Explore a classic defense of independent journalism and the vital role of a free press in preserving liberty and public life.

In The Free Press, Hilaire Belloc examines the growing influence of wealth, political power, and commercial interests on newspapers and public opinion during the early twentieth century. Arguing that genuine freedom of the press depends upon independence from concentrated economic and political control, Belloc offers a thoughtful critique of the forces he believed threatened open public debate.

Written with Belloc’s characteristic clarity and conviction, this concise work explores enduring questions about the relationship between the press, democracy, and the public. Although rooted in its historical moment, many of its themes continue to resonate in discussions about journalism, media ownership, and freedom of expression.

This new edition features a new introduction placing The Free Press in its historical context, an informative biography of Hilaire Belloc, and 27 explanatory footnotes that clarify historical references and allusions for modern readers. Carefully prepared in a clean, readable format, it is an excellent choice for readers interested in political philosophy, media history, and the development of modern democratic thought.

Danish Fairy Tales

By Svend Grundtvig. Translated by Gustav Hein. Enter a magical world of trolls, enchanted kingdoms, hidden treasures, and timeless wonder in this classic collection of Scandinavian folklore.

In Danish Fairy Tales, renowned folklorist Svend Grundtvig presents a rich treasury of traditional tales gathered from the oral storytelling traditions of Denmark. Filled with adventure, mystery, humor, and imagination, these stories preserve the legends and folk beliefs that were passed down through generations in villages, farmhouses, and fireside gatherings across the Danish countryside.

Within these pages, readers will encounter brave princes and clever peasants, wicked trolls lurking in forests and hills, magical creatures, talking animals, enchanted castles, and mysterious journeys filled with wonder and enchantment. Rooted in the traditions of Scandinavian folklore, the tales reflect the values, fears, and imagination of ordinary people while revealing a world where courage, wit, kindness, and perseverance often triumph over darkness and danger.

Unlike literary fairy tales created for the page, these stories arose from centuries of oral tradition, giving them an authentic connection to the folk culture of Denmark and the wider Nordic world. Grundtvig, one of the great pioneers of Scandinavian folklore studies, helped preserve these traditional narratives at a time when many of Denmark's traditional customs and stories were rapidly disappearing.

Written in a lively and engaging style, Danish Fairy Tales remains as captivating today as when it first appeared, delighting readers with its blend of fantasy, wonder, and cultural heritage. The collection offers both memorable storytelling and a fascinating glimpse into Denmark's rich folkloric heritage.

Available on Amazon in softcover here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7F9YVT6, and in hardcover here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7SNL4DR.

It will soon be available in both formats on Barnes & Noble.
