FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Cullen, Lynn

The Mightiest Heart

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laurel Long. In this tale of canine loyalty, Prince Llywelyn's hound Gelert saves the prince's infant son from a wolf and is wrongly accused of harming the baby. Gelert disappears, only to return when Llywelyn himself needs rescuing. Exquisitely detailed illustrations inspired by Renaissance art render this medieval Welsh legend in a series of tableaux. An author's note provides historical background.
