The Right Plesaunt and Goodly Historie of the Foure Sonnes of Aymon
by Octavia Richardson, William Caxton
Amazing. William Caxton's english is a bit annoying at times, but to be fair he was the first guy printing books in the language. Also there's a lot of repetition, a holdover from the gestes, which are more like vinyl records than books as we know them (ie music you listen to in the company of friends vs a solitary endeavour). Still, there's some good stuff in here. High medievalism and some really fantastic stuff. The last fight, the trial-by-combat between Renaud's sons Amonnet and Yonnet vs Rohart and Constans, the sons of the false traitor Foulques is one of the most grisly setpieces I've encoutnered in literature.
