5 out of 5 stars A must-read for any bibliophile   June 1, 2009
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

For anyone who has read or enjoys reading classical English literature, this is a must-have companion. It retells many stories whose characters and events are mentioned in other notable works. I found it quite easy to understand and would recommend it to everyone.

This Better Days Books edition of Thomas Bullfinch's classic "The Age of Chivalry" IS NOT an electronic version, as the misplaced product description on this page implies. It is a vintage reprint edition, in quality trade paperback format, lovingly reproduced with black and white interior illustrations that help to bring these timeless Arthurian tales to full and vibrant life. We here at Better Days Books have tried repeatedly to get the product description on this page corrected, to no avail. This really is a fabulous book that every boy should own - but please be aware that it is just that - a paperback book! Thank you!


4 out of 5 stars Mythology comes alive   May 26, 2001
A. J. Valasek (Clemmons, NC United States)

I personally find mythology pretty fascinating. On some levels it is an attempt to explain the human psyche. On others, it is an attempt to answer "why." This text is inferior to no other in its stories of myth and legend. With a twist, the author explains many of the verses and dialogue in many of the classic dramas and writings of some of the world's most famous author's throughout the centuries.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent literary work   July 12, 2009
I thought this was a great read. I didn't know many of these mythological stories, esp. the ones from Norse and Celtic traditions. A must read for anyone who is a true bibliophile.


2 out of 5 stars no links in Kindle edition   March 4, 2009

The Kindle edition has NO hyperlinks in the document. Since there are 41 chapters, this is a problem. It gets better.

When you search on the word "chapter," or one of the Roman numerals associated with each chapter, none of the 41 chapter beginnings are found, because the chapter heading is an IMAGE, not text.

I'll try other editions, and if needed, a download from Mobi, and report back on whether I can find a version of this book that can be used with a linked Table of Contents.
