the McSpadden version, although the two are similar. The Chaucer story book by Eva March Tappan. Includes eleven stories freely told and simplified. On this account may be used for younger children. Some of the atmosphere of Chaucer's original tales is lost but the plots are made very clear, which is an aid in the preparation of the stories. STORIES FROM THE FAERIE QUEENE. 1. Adventures of Una and the Red Cross Knight. The quest--The wood of Error--The knight deceived by the magician, forsakes Una--The knight's adventures--Una and the lion and what befell her later--The last fight and the end of the quest. 2. The legend of Britomart. Britomart looks into the magic mirror and later starts on her quest--What strange adventures befell Britomart--The great tournament for the Golden Girdle--How Britomart ended her quest. 3. The adventures of Sir Artegall. Minor adventures in which Sir Artegall rights many wrongs--His adventures with the Queen of the Amazons and his rescue by Britomart--The death of the tyrant Grantorto. 4. The adventures of Sir Calidore. The quest--Sir Calidore's encounter with the discourteous knight--Pasterella, and the successful ending of the quest. _Sources for the story teller:_ Spenser, Edmund. Works; ed. by R. Morris. _Adaptations:_ Stories from the Faerie Queene; retold from Spenser by L.H. Dawson. Similar to the Macleod version, but not so conveniently arranged for the story teller. Stories from the Faerie Queene; by Mary Macleod. This contains more stories than the other versions and the material is so arranged that the story teller will find it a help in making out a program for a longer cycle. The best and most attractive edition to use with children. Una and the Red Cross Knight, and other tales from Spenser's Faerie Queene; by N.G. Royde-Smith. This book gives chiefly the first part of Spenser's Faerie Queene--the adventures of Una and the Red Cross Knight--but it is excellently told and charmingly illustrated by T.H. Robinson. In a good many places Spenser's original verse has been inserted, which gives an added charm. IRISH HERO TALES. 1. Quest of the sons of Turenn. 2. Cuchulain's youth. 3. Strife for the dun cow of Cooley. 4. Cuchulain and Ferdia. 5. Cuchulain's death. 6. Fate of the sons of Usna. 7. Kin
