Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
This beautiful republication of the 1909 edition features a dark green cover with simple gold words.
One of the best-known Arthurian stories—adapted many times into verse, prose, games, and even an upcoming film—this unabridged republication of the 1909 edition is beautifully bound and finished with a decorated hardcover. It recounts an adventure undertaken by King Arthur's famous nephew, Sir Gawain, who is brave and the model of knightly grace. When a mysterious knight in green armor issues a challenge to the Round Table, the gallant Gawain volunteers to do battle for his king, beginning an adventure that explores chivalric tradition, loyalty, and the virtue of forgiveness.
Reprint of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A Middle-English Arthurian Romance Retold in Modern Prose, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1909 edition.
A rich tale of one of King Arthur's most noble knights, Sir Gawain. This tale is full of warriors, romance, battles, and many other adventures. Also housed in this volume are two other works, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo. An unknown medieval poet originally wrote all 3 of these stories, but these retellings by J.R.R. Tolkien bring the stories to life while retaining the artistic language.
