Publisher's Synopsis
Sara Coleridge (1802-1852) published her longest original work Phantasmion, A Fairy Tale in 1837, the same year her family moved to London. Essentially a fantasy novel, Phantasmion was a product of both her education and her illness. The chivalry of the Knight, Bayard, shows through in the (mostly) kind-hearted acts of King Phantasmion. The fantastical quality of the story is reminiscent of Gawain and the Green Knight and similar Arthurian legends. Phantasmion has since faded from memory, to the detriment of the reading public. Today, we may look back upon Coleridge
