A green horse great and tall; A steed full stiff to guide, In broidered bridle all He worthily bestrides             Dating from around 1400 and composed by an anonymous writer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was first translated and published almost 200 years ago. Its epic nature has not been dimmed by time: the classic story of a knight on a green steed challenging Sir Gawain to a monumental wager, it is a strange tale full of decapitations, seduction and magic.             Soon to be brought to the big screen, Sir Gawain is one of the earliest great stories of English literature.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740280135953,"sku":"NGR9780008485535","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52797252469009,"sku":"GOR012707211","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53374959288593,"sku":"GOR014886633","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0008485534.jpg?v=1751322859"},{"product_id":"sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight-book-jessie-weston-9781515421764","title":"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrave, chivalrous, loyally faithful to his plighted word, scrupulously heedful of his own and others' honour, Gawain stands before us in this poem.\u003c\/strong\u003e We take up Malory or Tennyson, and in spite of their charm of style, in spite of the halo of religious mysticism in which they have striven to enwrap their characters, we lay them down with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
