The Legends of Charlemagne Thomas Bulfinch Bulfinch (July 15, 1796 - May 27, 1867) explains the his work is "an attempt tell the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. We have endeavored to tell them correctly, according to the ancient authorities, so that when the reader finds them referred to he may not be at a loss to recognize the reference. Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education."The Bulfinch version of myth presents the myths in their literary versions, without unnecessary violence, sex, psychology or ethnographic information. The Bulfinch myths are an indispensable guide to the cultural values of the American 19th century. (Summary from Wikipedia)This is the third of Bulfinch's series of three mythologies. LibriVox recordings of the first two books are at: <a href="http://librivox.org/bulfinch-age-of-fabl Carolina Chansons: Legends of the Low Country by DuBose Heyward (1885 - 1940) and Hervey Allen (1889 - 1949) LibriVox This is a collection of poems about Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry.
