“This is the tale of a knight who was brave beyond all telling, yet knew not the peril of pride.” — Charlton M. Lewis When a mysterious green knight challenges the court of King Arthur, only the noble Gawayne dares accept. So begins a spellbinding journey across enchanted forests, forgotten towers, and trials of moral and mortal strength. Gawayne and the Green Knight is a poetic retelling of an ancient legend—full of daring feats, noble virtues, and the quiet dangers of self-deception. Charlton M. Lewis’s elegant verse captures the grandeur of medieval romance while posing timeless questions about honor, temptation, and human fallibility. This edition is ideal for readers of Arthurian legend, lovers of classic poetry, and anyone drawn to tales of courage touched by magic.
