Description: New. Of all the tales of the Knights of the Round Table, the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is surely the most magical. Here are thrills and enchantment, chivalry and courage, a challenge and a quest. Its hero is the greatest of all King Arthur's... read more
"I like when he killed the dragon. And I also like when they roasted a pig. And I like when he rides the horse and when they were in the mud. And I like when the green knight got blood on him. And I like when he went back. And I like all the things he did. And I like when the horse neighed. (Weston's review.)"
"This book is a wonderful retelling of the Medieval story. The vivid illustrations and curious tale captured my children attention completely. My 4-year-old constantly looked at the pictures in the book even when we were done reading it.
As we got further in to the story, I became concerned about the temptations that Sir Gawain encountered. It sparked many discussions with my children on chastity and how to deal with temptations. We compared Sir Gawain with Joseph of Egypt.
My understanding increased as the story progressed. I realized it was more than just a knight's tale. This is a story about the fall of man, the temptations of the devil, the weakness of man, repentance, chastity, and the mercy of the Lord. In other words, it is a temple story, a story of becoming, a story of redemption. The green sash that Sir Gawain wore at the end had a major impact on me. I will forever be changed because I read this simple children's story.
I eagerly look forward to reading Tolkien's translation of the original poem."
"This is a beautifully illustrated version of the strange and wonderful Arthurian legend. The language matches the illustrations, and it's overall quite lovely."
