READ THE ORIGINAL STORY, THIS NEW VERSION JUST OUT! … “By this holly branch you may know that I have come in peace and not to fight.” (The Green Knight) These words mark the start of Morgan Le Fay’s culture-jamming spell over the Christmas feast of her brother King Arthur. Le Fay’s spectral creation, the Green Knight, brings his glistening battle axe to test the renown of the king and posh court. A low-brow and dangerous game of Decapitation Tag is proposed, with the king’s young nephew, Gawain, accepting the challenge. Although willing to meet an honourable death, he instead, after a series of bizarre adventures, finds himself having to accept a compromised future as a Knight of the Round Table. This new Modern English rendition of the medieval masterpiece brings the wonder and suspense of Camelot to a wider range of today's readers. Phil Roberts is the author of Plain English: A User’s Guide and How Poetry Works, both published internationally by Penguin Books.
