Gawain and Lady Green — Anne Crompton / Anne Eliot Crompton

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.
