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.

    The narration was wonderful and the story a classic. Plus, when sped up it still sounded good, unlike other books!

    Everything 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.

    This 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.
