Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Sutcliff retains the original Celtic flavor in her stylish tale of this legendary couple. PW said, "The result is a beautifully woven story of heroic deeds, of the doomed love between the brave Tristan and Iseult, the princess of Ireland." Ages 10-up.
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Ingram

Long before the time of chivalrous knights, fair ladies, and turreted castles, Tristan defeats Ireland's greatest warrior and gains the friendship of his uncle, the King of Cornwall, who entrusts him with a very special mission: to sail the seas in search of a queen. "The storytelling is superb."--Horn Book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A Tristan for Children and Teenages, Ao� 20 2001

Par	Bernard M. Patten "Book worm" (Seabrook, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Tristan is a Celtic legend dating from the fifth century and probably told around peat fires until written down by Thomas of Brittany circa 1160. Subsequently this ancient tale received medieval dress as the troubadours enriched it and placed it in turreted castles in which it is generally set. Subsequent authors have all tampered with the tale, adjusting it to suit their needs. Sutcliff has done the same by simplifying and shortening and leaving out the love potion aas the explanation of why Tristan and Iseult fall in love. Her version is a concise pellet of information and story I presume designed for children and teenagers for whom it is well suited. Those of you who like your Tristan straight up should read The Romance of Tristan in the Curtis translation or Beroul's masterpiece The Romance of Tristan and Iseult by Bedier. Those who wish to read a truly zany version might take a look at The Romance of Tristan and Iseult: Modern Version (the one I like the best) wherein the lovers communicate by fax machines and portable phones.

5.0�toiles sur 5 a wonderful love story, retold, Jui 11 2001

Par	Casey (floating among the clouds) - Voir tous mes commentaires

this was an excellent read, just for your spare time. This is a young adult book, which is very exciting to me, and my book group, to whom i read it with. I do fell as though this author was a little childish, for example: sometimes she didn't go into great detail about a subject; she just moved on to the next part of the story. Overall, this is one of my favorite books. I definitly recomend this book to all who have read my review here, and thank you for taking time to read this.
