Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, with Pearl and Sir Orfeo by UnknownMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT when I took my first English course at (what was then called) North Harris County Community College. It was in a huge peach-colored book that covered English literature through Shakespeare, I think.
I was surprised to learn that I like epic poetry. I still like it.
At that time, we didn't cover PEARL or SIR ORFEO.
This translation and introduction by J.R.R. Tolkien brought all the pleasure back to me. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I can't wait to read it again, but I have too many books on my "TO-READ" list to do that quite yet.
The fact that this is an audiobook makes it even better.
