The Romance of Tristan and Iseult. Drawn from the best

French Sources and Re-told by J. Bedier. Rendered into English by H. Belloc. (George Allen. 2s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Belloc's rather affected style will hardly satisfy those who have been delighted by M. Bedier himself. The book is nevertheless welcome as a rendering of what is almost certainly the best prose version of the story of "these lives made out of loves that long since were."
