The Middle Ages
Whether told in royal courts or at
country fairs, the stories that have come down to us from the
Middle Ages are echoes of a world not so distant from our own.
At a time when literacy was increasing, poets and bards composed
stories which have survived the centuries and bring the period
to life. Other tales entered the oral tradition and were
sustained by "the folk" until they were collected in the
19th century.
Romance, mystery, heroism and magic all ring through these
stories.
