Published in 1903, Gawayne and the Green Knight is a modern-language retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a 14th-century verse romance following a young knight of the Round Table. During Christmas celebrations, a mysterious, entirely green knight presents a challenge to King Arthur's court: that any may strike the stranger a single blow with his green axe, provided he assent to receiving the same a year later. Gawayne accepts the challenge, and its unexpected outcome leads to a great test of his courage and knighthood. A significant addition to this version is the Lady Elfinhart, whose back-story and romance with Gawayne are tightly interwoven with the plot. (Summary by Jerome Lawsen) (1 hr 17 min)

Elfinheart wasn't added until around 1913. I wanted the original.

Great narrator, awful version. If you're already familiar with this story, this would be a nice listen for sure. However, it varies wildly from the original. I enjoyed the listen, but suggest no one listen until they've read/listened to the original.
A lively and entertaining version

A lively and entertaining version of the story well worth listening to. Should have been entitled "The Green Knight Before Christmas" (have a listen and you'll see what I mean...

The audio is fuzzy, but that’s more due to the age of the recording rather than any fault of the narrator. Very well read for free, pleasant to listen to
