medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
That's my impression, Henk, yes. The book is mostly children's fluff. It kind of drove me nutz with the liberties taken with the story. . . and yes, I recognize
the original is likely mostly legend to start with, but hey, I like my legendary legends to be told reasonably close to the original legend.
Which may be why I don't like Disney's "Hercules" or "Pochahantas" either.
