| It was a time of knights, ladies fair, violent jousts, power-hungry villains and lovers sworn to each other. It was the period after the Norman Conquest, in which England became Anglo-Saxon. Like Alexandre Dumas, the great French writer who gave us "The Three Musketeers" & "The Count Of Monte Cristo," Sir Walter Scott reinvisions history the way it should have been (thus the historical inconsistencies) and creates a masterpiece of enduring quality. This story is packed with romance, adventure and a few more surprises. It's never boring. Rated PG for medieval violence. |
