HarperCollins is
proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
A green horse great and
tall;
A steed full stiff to guide,
In broidered bridle all
He worthily bestrides
Dating from
around 1400 and composed by an anonymous writer, Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight was first translated and published almost 200 years ago. Its epic nature
has not been dimmed by time: the classic story of a knight on a green steed
challenging Sir Gawain to a monumental wager, it is a strange tale full of decapitations,
seduction and magic.
Soon to be
brought to the big screen, Sir Gawain is one of the earliest great stories of
English literature.
