Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
Set in the reign of Richard I, "Coeur de Lion", this novel is an historical romance and a tale of derring-do. As the loyal supporters of King Richard battle against the forces of his wicked and scheming brother, Prince John, the reader encounters such characters as Robin Hood.
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up--This is an excellent abridgment of the classic by Sir Walter Scott. The story line is very smooth and easy to follow. David Warner's reading is perfect. His British accent is easy to understand and adds to the telling of the story. Music added at the beginning and end of each side provides additional atmosphere. There is enough background information at the beginning of the presentation to allow listeners to follow the plot and the characters. This would be an excellent study tool when reading this work as a school assignment. The addition of a vocabulary list might help listeners with some of the unfamiliar words. The story has enough action and romance to make it a good listening experience for a wide range of ages, making it a valuable purchase for school and public libraries.

From Library Journal
The Modern Library is making a killing on TV/feature film tie-ins to classics. Like its recent incarnations of Gulliver's Travels and Emma, this offers a quality hardcover for little more than a paperback price.
From AudioFile
Scott's 1819 swashbuckler about the Disinherited Knight in the time of Richard I can still provide some thrills, chills, laughs, and tears. Harper's abridgment shaves too much from the vivid characterizations, a fault that Brian Cox somewhat corrects with his narration. For some reason, his Isaac the Jew has an odd, vaguely Eastern European accent, and all his Normans have speech impediments. Cox declaims the narrative like a town crier. While this cheats us of the more exciting moments, it does add welcome clarity to the centuries-old language. Y.R.

评分司各特最著名最具代表性的历史小说,而内容也是中世纪的骑士精神小说。很是具有鲜明的特别。 小说以骑士艾凡赫和“狮心王”理查为正面代表人物。背景则是王权斗争以及王权与教权的斗争。书中的英国刚刚“诺曼征服”,原始住民撒克逊人和征服者诺曼人之间的斗争还未平息。同时统...
评分这本书写的还不错,故事情节有趣曲折,是一部典型的骑士小说,也就是外国的武打小说。书中的犹太姑娘塑造的比较生动形象,机智、美丽、高贵、坚强,尤其是她与圣殿骑士的对话更能体现她的性格与品格,很招人喜欢;罗文娜、艾凡赫塑造的稍显单薄与苍白。司各特的文笔很优美、风...
