Siegfried

by Edith Heal, Milo Winter (Illustrator)

Siegfried, the tale of the bards and minstrels whose voices long ago echoed through the rugged halls of the Northern Chiefs. Symbolical of youth and strength, Siegfried is not content in the quiet serenity of home, not satisfied with the friendly jousts and banquets. Uppermost in his heart, the heart of youth, is the wish to search for power and glory. The flaming sword, the spirit of the adventure calls, and he follows. Wonderfully illustrated with full page color and black and white drawings by Milo Winter.

368 pages, Hardcover
