A very loose adaptation, read well

This is not the medieval *Sir Gawain and the Green Knight*, but instead an Edwardian adaptation of the poem, with new characters and an entirely different poetic scheme. The reading is very good, easy to listen to, and sparkles with the humor of the absurd situation.
