Publisher's Synopsis
These four tales were intended by the Author to be appropriate to the Four Seasons: the stern, grave "Sintram," to winter; the tearful, smiling, fresh "Undine," to Spring; the torrid deserts of the "Two Captains," to summer; and the sunset gold of "Aslauga's Knight," to autumn. Find all four tales in this omnibus volume, "The Four Seasons." Winter: "Sintram and His Companions" From boyhood, Sintram must battle between the violent customs fostered by his father and the pious lifestyle adopted by his mother Spring: "Undine, The Water Sprite" An elemental being marries a human, the Knight Huldbrand, in order to gain a soul. Summer: "The Two Captains" The friendship of German Captain, Sir Heimbert of Waldhausen, and Spanish Captain, Don Frederigo Mendez, is tested by love and war. Autumn: "Aslauga's Knight" Ghosts and witches, magic and combat, abound in this knightly tale of chivalrous love and friendship.
