Trade Review

‘Stace's elegant and accurate edition will be warmly received by readers looking for a reliable translation of this popular and influential work.’
Rebecca Krug, The Medieval Review

‘a translation and introduction that should be warmly welcomed by English-speaking readers and others. Indeed, Stace's translation should establish itself quickly as the standard translation of the Gesta Romanorum.’
Dr. David Elton Gay: Research Associate, Folklore Institute, Indiana University, Fabula 2018
