Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair Index

Contents Start Reading

---

Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair was William Morris' retelling of the medieval Lay of Havelock the Dane. Unlike the original, Morris puts more emphasis on the romantic side of the story. The novel, with its development of a royal character unaware of their true status, had an influence on Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis.
