I'm taking a star off for repeating the blood libel in 1901 (that story has a deep kinship with the Prioress's Tale from Chaucer & I don't think we need to perpetuate medieval anti-semitism); that said, the rest of it is, if you can stomach a lot of 19th century projecting back on the Middle Ages gender essentialism (aside from the cross-dressing in the last story!) very well-executed – his command of the archaic language is impressive, though of course it's less medieval and more the 19th century idea of medieval – all courtly dames and noble knights and a few dastards.

Charles Williams, one of the Inkling group, was rather scathing in his criticism of Hewlett in his book War in Heaven, but I rather liked this story. OK, it's not high literature, but it's a pleasant "knights-in-armour/damsel in distress" story in the Victorian style.

It probably helps that the edition I have is also very nicely illustrated.
