About this audiobook
A mysterious knight all in green arrives at King Arthur’s court and issues a bizarre challenge. Gawain answers the knight – but at what cost? This new translation keeps all the poetic power of the original’s extraordinary alliteration. In doing so it brings the saga vividly to life, and in a manner that demands to be heard. One of the greatest stories of English literature from any period, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a magical medieval combination of the epic and the uncanny.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great version. Entertaining story. Worth the listen. Used for a high school class and they enjoyed.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Everything about this book makes me realize that it really is fun to watch paint dry. It truly was the worst book I’ve ever read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great wee tale! Loved it and it is well Narrated!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is fantastic. I haven't enjoyed verse so much for ages. The translation of the sprung rhythm and alliteration is excellent and the reader, with his Northern accent, is perfect.
