About the book

Aucassin and Nicolette is a charming medieval French romance that blends prose and verse to tell the story of two young lovers kept apart by family, social convention and circumstance. Aucassin is the son of a nobleman, while Nicolette is a captive girl of uncertain birth whom his father considers unsuitable. Their determination to remain together leads to imprisonment, escape, disguise and adventure. Playful, romantic and often gently humorous, the story is one of the most appealing surviving works of medieval French literature.
