Four Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Chrétien de Troyes, writing in twelfth-century France, created many of the stories that define the Arthurian legend. This collection presents four of his romances: Erec and Enide, Cligés, Yvain, the Knight of the Lion, and Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, in which Lancelot's love for Queen Guinevere first appears. A treasure of medieval literature.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
