"Compulsively readable. ... Simon Armitage has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version."âEdward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review One of the earliest great stories of English literature after ?Beowulf?, ?Sir Gawain? is the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse, who rudely interrupts King Arthur's Round Table festivities one Yuletide, challenging the knights to a wager.
