On Christmas day at Camelot a gigantic green knight rides into King Arthur’s hall with a strange challenge, and young Gawayne takes it up. Charlton Lewis, a Yale professor of English, retells the medieval legend in light rhyming couplets, adding the enchanted maiden Elfinhart and promising in his preface ‘much instruction, and some fun’.
