The story and myths around Charlemagne are brought to life through the pen of Thomas Bulfinch and the wonderful illustrations of N.C. Wyeth.

Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, was King of the Franks from 768 until his death in 814. Often married, and father of at least 18 children, King Charlemagne gained the mythical status that Bulfinch’s Legends of Charlemagne explores. Here are adventures for readers of all ages! [Google Books]
