The Red Book of Heroes

Crusaders, lepers, wives, royalty, soldiers, and philanthropists each prove that one's ability for heroism does not correlate to status, but rather the contents of their hearts. The Red Book of Heroes is a stunning collection of short fiction curated, translated, and edited by Andrew and Leonora Lang. With compelling prose, this collection celebrates lesser-known but well deserving heroes of history.
