🛡️ Knights, dragons, and queens—where honor meets imagination.

The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. First published in the late 16th century and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, this majestic work blends classical mythology, Christian allegory, and Arthurian legend into a richly layered journey through virtue, temptation, and triumph.

Across six heroic books, noble knights—including the Redcrosse Knight, Sir Guyon, and Britomart—embark on quests symbolizing Holiness, Temperance, Chastity, Friendship, Justice, and Courtesy. Along the way, they confront witches, monsters, political intrigue, and moral tests—all within a deeply symbolic, fantastical landscape.
