Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

The epic poem of honor and bravery

Written by an anonymous fourteenth-century poet,Sir Gawain and the Green Knightis recognized as an equal to Chaucer’s masterworks and to the great Old English poems,Beowulfincluded. A green-skinned knight offers the Knights of the Round Table a simple but deadly challenge—a challenge taken on by the brave Sir Gawain. A challenge that will force him to choose between his honor and his life...

@GawainsWorldSo listen here, some green man came to the hall and wants someone to cut his head off. Some sort of dare? Could be fun, right?

The deal is I cut off his head now, and he cuts off mine a year later. What a jester, doesn’t he know he’ll be dead?

This goblin fellow is totally dead.

All seemed fine until Ichabod Crane here fell to the floor, stood up, and picked up his head. His head, in his hands. In HIS HANDS!
