This vintage book contains a collection of stories based upon Wagner's operas told by Gladys Davidson. Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly famous for his operas. These masterfully retold stories are highly recommended for all fans of Wagner's work and would make for worthy additions to any collection. Contents include: "The Flying Dutchman (Der Fliegende Hollaender)", "Tannhauser", "Lohengrin", "Tristan and Isolda", "The Mastersingers of Nuremberg (Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg)", "The Nibelungs' Ring. (Der Ring der Nibelungen)", "The Rhinegold", "The Valkyrie (Der Walkuere)", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with its original artwork and text.
