Although some of these charming, surreal, baffling, and beautiful tales found their way into The Arabian Nights, most appear here, for the very first time, in English. “Offers a gateway to a different world of language and ideas, florid, wildly descriptive and a powerful reminder of the human need for story….Irresistible.”—The Independent (UK) PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER • 496 PP. • 978-0-14-139503-6 • $30.00 MYRA STOKES and AD PUTTER, editors The Works of the Gawain Poet Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Patience, Cleanness This volume brings together four works of the unknown fourteenth-century poet and author of the Arthurian romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in their original Middle English.
