Gawayne and the Green Knight: A Fairy Tale is a book written by Charlton Miner Lewis, which tells the story of Sir Gawayne, a knight of the Round Table. The book is based on the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, but Lewis has adapted it into a fairy tale suitable for children.The story begins with a mysterious green knight who enters King Arthur's court and challenges any knight to a game. Sir Gawayne accepts the challenge and beheads the green knight, but to his surprise, the green knight picks up his head and tells Gawayne to seek him out in a year and a day to receive a blow in return.Gawayne sets out on a perilous journey to find the green knight and fulfill his promise. Along the way, he encounters various obstacles and temptations, including a castle where he is offered hospitality by a beautiful lady who tries to seduce him. Gawayne must resist her advances and stay true to his chivalric code.The book is beautifully illustrated by Pauline Ellison, and the language is accessible for younger readers. It is a timeless tale of courage, honor, and the importance of keeping one's word.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
