Excerpt from The Faery Queen: First Book, Rewritten in Simple Language
U HE faery queen, by Edmund Spenser, who was born in London in 1552, is one of the most splendid long poems in the English language. It is also a wonder fully interesting story-book, containing all isorts of adventures. But not many children are likely to read this long poem in its original form. I have therefore taken the first story and told it in prose, that young readers may have the tale in such shape as may please them. It would have gratified me to tell the 1 whole set of tales in this way, but this course would have made a larger book than you would care for, perhaps.
