A Story of the Golden Age: Heroes of the Olden Time

by James Baldwin, Howard Pyle (Illustrator)

Overview

Author James Baldwin (1841-1925)

Should you become interested in the "Story of the Golden Age," as it is here related, do not be disappointed by its somewhat abrupt ending; for you will find it continued by the master-poet of all ages, in a manner both inimitable and unapproachable. If you are pleased with the discourse of the porter at the gate, how much greater shall be your delight when you stand in the palace of the king, and hearken to the song of the royal minstrel!
