About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Reviews

[Crissy Hensley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book of short stories. The tales range from excerpts of "Don Quixote" to stories of general knightliness and chivalry. Some of them are one-shots and a few have many chapters, like the tales of El Cid. They are all classics, though they are mostly abridged from the original sources so they could be compiled into this book as a kind of sampler. I downloaded this book from Project Gutenberg via my library's online database, and I was not disappointed!

Children's prose rendition of several medieval romances, or chapters of romances. It is very artificial, more so than the Red Fairy Book, also from Andrew Lang. Nevertheless, if you have little enough acquaintance with medieval literature, this is a good, entertaining place to start.
