内容简介
Originally published in 1832, the legends of the Rhine are interwoven with the history of centuries. Long forgotten figures rise out of the misty past and bring back life to the ancient walls as they stride through the castles and cathedrals. Marching songs and wedding bells resound again One hears again the gurgle of the moss covered spring and in the forest the huntsman's horn reverberates through the trees and spears whirls through the air; royal crowns sparkle in the magic twilight. Thomas C. Grattan was an Irish novelist and travel writer who spent his early married life in France, in Massachusetts as British consul during 1839-46, and later in London until his death in 1864.
