| Summary: | Simon Armitage goes on the trail of one of the jewels in the crown of British poetry - Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, written about 600 years ago by an unknown author.

Armitage follows in Gawain's footsteps through some of Britain's most beautiful and mystical landscapes and reveals why the tale of a knight beheading a green giant is as relevant now as it was when first written. |
