Una and the Red Cross Knight, and other tales from Spenser's Faerie Queene; by N.G. Royde-Smith.
This book gives chiefly the first part of Spenser's Faerie Queene—the adventures of Una and the Red Cross Knight—but it is excellently told and charmingly illustrated by T.H. Robinson. In a good many places Spenser's original verse has been inserted, which gives an added charm.
