Title: Adapted By Andre Norton
Review: Huon Of The Horn"This is a book that belongs with the great company of the hero tales. It is the later part of the Charlemagne saga, coming after the death of Roland at Roncevaux. Andre Norton has adapted the story..."It is a hero story in the great tradition. In it Huon, Duke of Bordeaux, is betrayed by the knight Amaury, just as Roland is betrayed by the Ganelon. To redeem himself in the eyes of the emperor, Huon is sent on a difficult, practically impossible mission to Babylon, which is in the hands of the Saracens--Charlemagne's bitter enemies..."The story is stirring and inspiring. Huon has something of Roland's qualities: charm, courage, a romantic appeal, and the fiery spirit of youth."Recommended for fans of Andre NortonGunner July, 2008
