1901. Thomas Bulfinch is best known as the author of The Age of Fable, first published in 1855, and known since the 1880s as Bulfinch's Mythology, a three-part work consisting of: Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages; The Age of Chivalry, or Legends of King Arthur; and The Age of Fable; or Stories of Gods and Heroes. He has endeavored to tell these tales correctly, according to the ancient authorities, so that when the reader finds them referred to he may not be at a loss to recognize the reference, as well as to give them the charm of a storybook.
