Great Regulars: This Christmas, the poem

would make an ideal gift for a son or daughter, or niece or nephew, who may have discovered Middle Earth, Narnia, or Hogwarts but none of their literary antecedents. Or maybe curl up with a copy yourself. Within a few moments, you will be plunged into a world of magic and rugged adventure--and reminded of such virtues as generosity, friendliness, chastity, chivalry, and faith.

Written in the late 14th century, the authorship of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight remains unknown.
