EARLY GERMANIC LEGEND WITH 60S ART
Dragons and a lost love and betrayal and vengeance. Classically translated by Margaret Armour, this Germanic epic captures everything one could want in an early European legend as Prince Siegfried journeys to win his love, only to be met with an untimely death. The tale is modernized here with Edy Legrand's hand-colored illustrations, settling the tale into 1960s America.
Limited to 1500 numbered copies signed by the illustrator, of which this is 1046.
