The Legend Of Albion

Pitch-perfect and utterly breathtaking, The Legend of Albion by the American poet and photographer Joseph Randell Sherman is just the thing for young discerning readers. Intellectually charged with twelve full-color illustrations, this epic poem is a journey of mythic proportions. Hailed as one of the most ingenious and bold literary undertaking in a generation, he shares a splendid narrative of how Great Britain was formed. A young Prince Albion becomes a king when he is but a babe in the arms of a knight forced to rescue him. This same knight helps him on the road of life and in the ways of becoming a leader. Readers follow King Albion through his life-as he matches wits with a wizard, receives his tutelage and tames a dragon until he falls in love and has a son of his own. The road of a king is long and winding. In this case, a king of great legion founds a homeland-a small great nation, in deed, a legend is born.
