Originally published in 1903, Gawayne and the Green Knight offers a fresh, modern-language retelling of the classic 14th-century romance featuring Sir Gawain, a young knight of King Arthurs Round Table. During the festive Christmas celebrations, a mysterious knight entirely clad in green presents an audacious challenge to the court any brave soul may strike him a single blow with his green axe, but must agree to receive the same in a year’s time. Gawayne steps forward to accept the challenge, setting off a journey that tests his courage and sense of honor in unexpected ways. This version enriches the tale with the character of Lady Elfinhart, whose intricate backstory and romance with Gawayne are deeply woven into the narrative, adding layers of intrigue and emotion.
