More than four hundred years ago there lived in England a poet named Edmund Spenser (1552 – 1599). He was brave and true and gentle, and he loved all that was beautiful and good.
Edmund Spenser wrote many poems, and the most beautiful of all is the one called ‘The Faerie Queen’ from which the 8 illustrated stories in this volume are taken.

While there are many, many stories in ‘The Faerie Queen,’ Jeanie Lang, niece to the great Andrew Lang, and out of them all she has retold eight in story form. Each story has an illustration drawn by Miss Rose Le Quesne.

About the Faerie Queen

More than four hundred years ago there lived in England a poet named Edmund Spenser (1552 – 1599). He was brave and true and gentle, and he loved all that was beautiful and good.

Edmund Spenser wrote many poems, and the most beautiful of all is the one called ‘The Faerie Queen.’ He loved so dearly all things that are beautiful and all things that are good, that his eyes could see Fairyland more clearly than the eyes of other men ever could.

There are many, many stories in ‘The Faerie Queen,’ and out of them all I have told you only eight. Some day you will read the others for yourself.

In this little book Miss Rose Le Quesne has drawn a pretty picture for each story. But when you are old enough to read for yourself ‘The Faerie Queen’ that Edmund Spenser wrote, you will find that there is a picture on every page.

Jeanie Lang.
