About the work

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

LibriVox recording of Thomas Bulfinch's "The Age of Chivalry, read by LibriVox volunteers, proofed by Annise, and produced by Karen Merline Thomas 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."
