Overview
One of the best-known Arthurian stories—adapted many times into verse, prose, games, and 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.
