A review by marysee
Fierce Wars and Faithful Loves by Edmund Spenser

5.0

A difficult classic to read because even in his time period (Elizabethan) he wrote in an older English. Roy Maynard's commentary and helps are welcome when you don't have an English professor in the house. I read it to one of our teens and now I'm reading it for the second time to another child and it gets easier and more enjoyable the more I read it. It is really growing on me.
Spencer's Faerie Queene is one of C. S. Lewis's favorite books. He read it as a boy. I'm impressed.
