Book Synopsis
'Amys and Amylion' is a medieval poem of treason and forbidden love, of loyalty and suffering, of crime and miracles; The adventures of Amys and Amylion lie close to the sensibilities of the age, but the contemporary reader should find that the poem remains both entertaining and compelling in its own right.
