“Her name was Hildegardis, and she was acknowledged far and wide as the fairest of maidens.” Froda, a brave and generous Danish knight, reads the century old legend of Queen Aslauga and his life is forever changed. On his journey to a tournament, where the prize is the hand of the beautiful Lady Hildegardis, he encounters the quiet but courageous German knight, Edwald. Both driven by honour and love, the strength of their friendship is tested through the tournament and the subsequent abduction of Hildegardis. Ghosts and witches, magic and combat, abound in this tale of love and friendship.
'Aslauga's Knight' is a tale that follows the life of a noble knight named Froda, who not only offered free hospitality to renowned and noble bards but also searched for ancient songs, tales, and legends. His life changed one autumn evening when he received a book about Aslauga, the fair daughter of Sigurd, who won the love of King Ragnar Lodbrog and shone brightly on the Danish throne as his glorious queen.

Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English chilren's stories during the 19th Centuary and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children's books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends (Musaus, Wilhelm Hauff, Bechstein, Brentano) Telling Tales covers a wealth of translated and adapted material in a large variety of forms, and pays detailed attention to the problems of translation and adaptation of texts for children. In addition, Telling Tales considers educational works (Campe and Salzmann), moral and religious tales (Carove, Schmid and Barth), historical tales, adventure stories and picture books (including Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz) together with an analysis of what British children learnt through textbooks about Germany as a country and its variegated history, particularly in times of war.
