A mysterious knight, green from head to toe, rides in and brings the court's wait to an end with an implausible challenge to the Round Table: he will allow any of the knights to strike him once, with a battle-axe no less, on the condition that he is allowed to return the blow a year hence. Arthur's brave favorite for the challenge is Sir Gawain... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Accompanying \u003ci\u003eSir Gawain and the Green Knight\u003c\/i\u003e in this book are \u003ci\u003eSir Orfeo\u003c\/i\u003e, a medieval version of the story of Orpheus and Euridice, a love so strong that it overcame death, and \u003ci\u003ePearl\u003c\/i\u003e, the moving tale of a man in a graveyard mourning his baby daughter, lost like a pearl that slipped through his fingers.
