The Complete Paladin's Handbook__NOTOC__
==Appendix: Bibliography==
Although not all characters in the following works exactly fit the description of the paladin given in this supplement, all of these works provide much of interest to those role-playing paladin characters in the AD&D® game.
===Traditional Stories===
Bulfinch, Thomas. The Age of Chivalry. See especially the stories of Sir Galahad in the King Arthur stories, and those of Roland, Oliver, and Olgier the Dane.
Other tales of interest include Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight and the legends of Joan of Arc and El Cid.
===Fiction Sources===
Anderson, Poul. Three Hearts and Three Lions. This book contains the best model for the paladin class, retelling the story of Olgier the Dane (as Holger Carlson), and including a classic battle with a troll.
Cooper, James Fenimore. The Deerslayer. The hero, Natty Bumppo, is an excellent role model for paladins.
Moon, Elizabeth. Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy (Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Alliance, Oath of Gold). This presents a fine treatment of the making of a paladin-like heroine named Paksenarrion.
Moorcock, Michael. The Eternal Champion and the Runestaff cycle (The Jewel in the Skull, The Mad God's Amulet, Sword of the Dawn, The Runestaff). Some of the characters in these books serve admirably well as paladins, particularly Jonathan Daker, Dorian Hawkmoon, and the Knight of Jet and Gold.
Mundy, Talbot. Tros of Samothrace series (Lud of London, Avenging Liafall, The Praetor's Dungeon) and its sequels (The Purple Pirate, Queen Cleopatra). This series presents an excellent example of a lawful good hero in a Roman world that is neutral at best.
Novak, Kate, and Jeff Grubb. Finder's Stone trilogy (Azure Bonds, The Wyvern's Spur, Song of the Saurials). Dragonbait, the paladin hero of this AD&D® game-based series, is nonhuman, a lizardlike being called a saurial.
Scott, Sir Walter. Ivanhoe. This is a classic story of knighthood.
Weis, Margaret, and Tracy Hickman. DRAGONLANCE® Chronicles (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, Dragons of Spring Dawning). Though not a true paladin, the hero Sturm in this AD&D game-based series had strong paladin-like beliefs and characteristics.
