The Percy Folio

The Percy Folio is a valuable collection of old English stories and poems compiled in the 17th century by Sir Henry Percy. It includes a wide range of tales, such as legends, heroic exploits, and mythological stories from medieval England. Kept as a manuscript, it preserves many works that might have otherwise been lost, offering insight into the storytelling and cultural history of that era. Today, scholars study the Percy Folio to better understand medieval literature and the storytelling traditions that shaped English literary history.
