Summary

 Join the wandering minstrel Martin Pippin as he encounters a lovelorn ploughman desperate for help. The ploughman urges Martin to rescue his beloved, who has been confined in a well-house, guarded by six sworn virgins. With his enchanting storytelling, Martin wins over the young women by weaving tales of love that resonate deeply. Although it may seem like a childrens book at first glance, the six enchanting stories—echoing the charm of Perraults fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella—delve into themes of lost love, betrayal, and the longing for connection. Originally crafted for a young soldier named Victor Haslam, these tales possess a richness that appeals to adults as well as children. (Introduction adapted from Wikipedia)
