The listing, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo - J.R.R. Tolkien has ended.

Paperback, well used, some damage, but still in good shape.
Written by a medieval poet whose name is unknown, and comparable with the works of Chaucer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo are masterpieces of a remote and exotic age - the age of chivalry and wizards, knights, and holy quests. Yet it is only in the unique artistry and imagination of J.R.R Tolkien that the language of these great stories comes to life for modern readers in these masterly and compelling translations. The centerpiece of this brilliant collection, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, is a tale as lush and dark as England's medieval forests. It is romance interlaced with scenes of the hunt and temptations of the flesh; it is a fairy tale of giant warriors in armor and King Arthur's most noble knight; and it is a rousing adventure of epic enchantment and the destiny of human desires.
