Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Anonymous

⏱ 7 minMedieval classic

A green giant rides into Camelot with a Christmas game: strike me one axe-blow now, and a year hence seek me out to take one in return. Sir Gawain takes up the axe — and finds his true test is not the blade but a lady's daily temptation and his own fear of death.
