Title: The Saracen's head
Description: A satyrical tale of the Crusades. Our hero, though he starts out as a serious disappointment to his old-school Norman mother, makes good by favourable chance in the ranks of Richard the Lionheart's force, rescues a beautiful princess from a fate worse than death, and is able to make serious domestic improvements on his unexpectedly triumphal return. The author's illustrations are an additional delight.
