  Each book in the Great Lives series tells the life story of a famous man or woman of the past or present. This book portrays the famous English king not only as a warrier and crusader, but also as a poet, a musician and a scholar. It examines Richard's rule as king and the reforms he created, but concentrates on his experiences during the crusades, outlining his cunning successes, defeats and eventual capture.
