Dmitry Grigoriev, already known to readers for his prose retellings of medieval trouvères and minstrels' poems about the life and exploits of Roland the Bold, once again opens the treasure trove of French medieval epic poetry. This time, the protagonist is Guillaume of Orange, also known as Guillaume Iron-Handed and Guillaume Short-Nose. Tales about him are as popular in French folklore as the legends of Roland.

The narrative is structured as a conversation between four 13th-century poet friends who, gathered on a lawn, take turns singing songs about Guillaume, building the hero's life story from birth to death. There is room for drama, tragedy, lyricism, and humor. This book is aimed at young readers interested in epic literature and who appreciate the combination of a dynamic plot and immersion in the atmosphere of a historical era.
