About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Melor of the Silver Hand; and Other Stories of the Bright Ages by David Bearne. Read in English by Mike Pelton; Robin Lamb; Lynda Marie Neilson; Phil Chenevert; Patrick Saville; Larry Wilson This is a collection of fairy tales by Rev. David Bearne. The stories take place in the "Bright Ages" as opposed to the more common epithet "dark ages", where heroes saved the world, saints performed miracles, and also anything else was possible. Most of those stories are based on half-forgotten legends and footnotes to the history of England, charmingly retold by Mr. Bearne. - Summary by Carolin
