honestly, at this point i'd really like to know when morris is going to write a story about sir britomart
like i'm just saying, it would be super nice to get a female knight story? and knight's tales already showed that he loves mixing in faerie stuff with arthuriana! SIR BRITOMART THE FAITHFUL FOR 2015
anyways. just had to let that out, i've read a lot of dude povs lately and my soul cried out for a girl
so sir gawain the true basically retells the story of gawain and the green knight. it's a decent retelling

Spoiler
but i'm actually really disappointed he had gawain figure out what was up and return the green mantle? like for me the point of the green knight story is it's where gawain fails to resist temptation, the power of it comes from that moment of weakness and subsequent repentance. but maybe morris thought was too harsh for a kid's book, idk3 stars
