At King Arthur's court, a monstrous Green Knight issues his terrible challenge, a blow for a blow, and young Gawayne takes it up, in a witty verse retelling of the medieval classic.

Charlton M. Lewis's 1903 poem reworks the great Arthurian romance with light humor and lyrical charm, promising 'much instruction, and some fun.' Elegant, playful literary fantasy. Read it for a graceful, tongue-in-cheek retelling of one of the finest tales of chivalry and enchantment.
