The poem "The Faerie Queene" was written by Edmund Spenser (c. 1552–1599), who, along with Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton, is considered one of the greatest English poets. Our edition presents a verse translation of Books I and II of Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene." Of the intended 12 books of "The Faerie Queene," Spenser wrote only six. Each book is dedicated to one of the cardinal human virtues. Book I is devoted to holiness, Book II to temperance. The Russian translation of Part I of the poem was completed by the renowned translator Vladimir Mikushevich (1936–2024). The translation of Part II was completed by poet and translator Olga Slavyanka. This is the first Russian translation of Book II of Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" in its entirety.

The book is annotated, includes a list of characters, and a summary of all the songs in each book of the poem. It also includes a biography of the author of "The Faerie Queene" and the publication history of Walter Crane, the author of the poem's best illustrations. It is intended for a wide range of readers.
