Figures of Earth: A Comedy of Appearances (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) - Tapa blanda

Foreword My dear Lewis :T oyou (whom I take to be as familiar with theM anuelian cycle of romance as is any person now alive) it has for some while appeared, I know, a not incurious circumstance that in the Key to the Popular Tales of Poictesme there should have been included so little directly relative toM anuel himself. No reader of the Popular Tales (as I recall your saying at the Alum when we talked over, among so many other matters, this monumental book) can fail to note that always Dom Manuel looms obscurely in the background, somewhat as do King Arthur and white-bearded Charlemagne in their several cycles, dispensing justice and bestowing rewards, and generally arranging the future, for the survivors of the outcome of stories which more intimately concern themselves with A navalt and Coth and Holden, or even withS claug and Thragnar, than with the liege-lord of Poictesme.
