Western drama, having all but disappeared during the Dark Ages, reemerged spontaneously in the liturgy and life of the medieval church. Vernacular miracle plays of England’s Middle Ages were performed by lay people — many by trade guilds — unschooled in church Latin, but familiar with the biblical events upon which the dramas were based. Morality plays provided moral instruction, their principal characters vivid personifications of virtue and vice. The most durable of the morality plays has proven to be Everyman, whose central character, summoned by Death, must face final judgment on the strength of his good deeds. This venerable drama is reprinted here along with three other medieval classics: The Second Shepherds’ Play, Noah’s Flood, and Hickscorner.

The life of a basilisk is not an easy one, but for Margaret ‘Maisie’ Day, it’s about to get even harder. After a life spent in the human world, she is forced to flee to the one place she never wanted to go, Lasina.

An evil king who will do everything in his power to stop her from finalizing the marriages hounds her every step. Thrown into a new land without any warning, she must navigate the perils of Queendom; hopefully finding love along the way. Join Maisie on her adventure through betrothal, treachery, love, and Lasina. WARNING: This novel is intended for readers 18+. There is explicit language, sexual scenes, and violent content.

Escaping the clutches of the evil King, Maisie has a choice to make. Does she turn her back on Lasina and her own Kings; or embrace the destiny that was put in place long ago? Battles force her to accept the role of Queen as her father begins to attack the people of Lasina. A mysterious new foe arrives, taking Maisie’s last link to Earth away, leaving her devastated and itching for revenge. The treaty still looms over her head as she begins to fall more in love with men she wanted nothing to do with. Her people need her, her men want to love her, all while she is navigating the forces threatening to take it all away. WARNING: This novel is intended for readers 18+. There is explicit language, sexual scenes, and violent content.

History comes alive in this incredible children’s illustrated book about castles. Slicing through different areas of a medieval fortress, extraordinary views reveal the people busy inside, and preparing for battle as an enemy army approaches.

From the drawbridge to the dungeon, Cross-sections Castle swarms with the people who keep the castle ticking over – the workers, craftsmen, and servants. And, as you pore over every page, look out for the villainous spy. Is he in the well… the keep… the moat? No? Keep looking, he’s there somewhere! Back in print after 20 years, you can cheer on jousters, be entertained by a troubadour, and witness the gory details of a traitor’s demise.

Paperback. Pub Date :2012-11-01 Pages: 192 Language: English Publisher: Faber and Faber The Alliterative Morte Arthure – the title given to a four-thousand line poem written sometime around 1400 – was part of a medieval Arthurian revival which produced such masterpieces as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malorys prose Morte DArthur.The Death of King Arthur deals in the cut-and-thrust of warfare and politics: the ever-topical matter of Britains relationship with continental Europe. and of its military interests overseas.Simon Armitage is already the master of this alliterative music. as his earlier version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2006) so resourcefully and exuberantly showed.His new translation restores a neglected masterpiece of story-telling. by bringing vividly to life its entirely medieval mix of ruthlessness and restraint.

In Wisland, the church is the state and God ‘s word is law. Etta: ‘Wisland has no place for its fatherless daughters, and there will soon come a starving winter where the thieves will be last to die.’ Tam: ‘ If a man is willing to work hard and fight for his life then he will one day be blessed with good fortune.’ Duncan: ‘ Everyone has started turning old stones over twice, looking for a third side, but truth never changes.’ Linne: ‘ What makes nature noble is that it has no opinion of itself. It demands no purpose, no vindication.’ Talos: ‘ To think is an act of will. Acts of will are the suffering of one’s inequities to unlock a greater future.’ A drought is devastating this year’s crops and the nation’s supreme leader is resting on his deathbed. A capable yet irreverent cleric is poised to succeed him and speak for God. Jealous rivals are circling, and when they declare the cleric’s father an enemy of the state, a private war begins. Meanwhile, thousands of Wislanders are fleeing the countryside to escape starvation. As the threat of mob revolt grows, the people are presented with a partisan choice: support the champion of their religious traditions or support the seemingly godless man who has promised them survival. A bitter tragedy offset by singsong, absurdist prose, Stories from the Nation of Wisland explores the practical and psychological consequences of ultimate truths and brittle identities. You will follow five characters, rich and poor, powerful and small, as they struggle to navigate an onslaught of fear, anger, and change.
