Gawain & Lady Green

"Deliciously witty, feminist retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." -Publishers Weekly

A mysterious green stranger gallops into King Arthur's court and poses a unique challenge: any knight of the Round Table may try to chop off his head on the condition that if they succeed, he will have the same opportunity one year later. After a shameful silence, Sir Gawain steps forward and beheads the stranger. To everyone's surprise, the stranger then picks up his head and leaves, reminding Gawain of their future meeting. This captivating follow-up to Merlin's Harp, now back in print, puts a new twist on the classic story of honor, pride, love, and betrayal.
"A famous knight must rely on a woman to comprehend the chivalric virtues in this subversive and deliciously witty feminist retelling" -Publishers Weekly
"Many teens will identify with the choice she made for love." -School Library Journal
