_Sources for the story teller_:
Baldwin, James. The story of Roland.
Some of the many legends of French chivalry that cluster
around the names of Charlemagne and Roland, translated into
English prose and woven into a story with Roland as the
center of interest. The main incidents have been derived from
a variety of sources, but the arrangement and connecting
parts are the author's own invention, making the whole an
acceptable and interesting version.
Church, A.J. Stories of Charlemagne.
The old tales shortened and compressed but still retaining
life and color and reflecting the spirit of the times. Five
of the legends which are distinct in themselves have been
used. "The four sons of Aymon," "Ralph, the Collier,"
"Fireabras," "The song of Roland," and "Duke Huon of
Bordeaux."
Greene, F.N., and Kirk, D.W. With spurs of gold.
A short account of Roland and Charlemagne, dealing
principally with the battle of Roncesvalles.
Maitland, Louise. Heroes of chivalry.
Contains a very clear, brief account of the life and
adventures of Roland, divided into five parts.
Roland. The song of Roland, translated into English verse;
O'Hagan.
The story of the Battle of Roncesvalles, The spirit of
chivalry, the bravery of the knights, the friendship of
Roland and Oliver, and the treachery of Ganelon are all told
