Now I know I need to get a copy. <br /><br />I know that I've read the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, but it was in college so I need a refresher. I think I may have even written a paper about how politics during the Wars of the Roses affected Malory's <i>Morte d'Arthur</i>. It seems so long ago now!Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-31043361936917162692012-01-18T17:49:40.375-06:002012-01-18T17:49:40.375-06:00I really liked this one as well, so much so that I...I really liked this one as well, so much so that I also wanted to read the Book of the Green Knight.

It sounds like the author has chosen a very unique way to tell her story and I'm now really curious to read it for myself, especially seeing how much you and Stephanie enjoyed it. Though I'm also not familiar with the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight so perhaps I should check that out first.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-57400883089253815102012-01-17T20:21:14.628-06:002012-01-17T20:21:14.628-06:00I've read that this one is gorgeous and it tru...I've read that this one is gorgeous and it truly sounds like you must see it to really appreciate it.
