i am reading this version to SB, and I just had to state how absolutely beautiful this book is. the wordsmithing is absolutely spellbinding. it is a joy to read aloud to her. the illustration is also fabulous. Really, really enjoyable. However, having said that, the bit about the lords wife getting into bed with gawain is slightly baffling SB, so i am toning down the swooning going on there! She can’t see what the problem might be! Hmm!! Bless her innocence. we did therefore have a brief discussion on who it might be acceptable to kiss!!
But, can’t recommend this book enough. we got it from the library, but its def one to try and fit on a bookcase!
It’s a Michael Morpurgo book. One of our favourite authors atm. Added ti wish list.
it is, he is a really fab writer, and this is written with such a beautiful flow to the words. it really is a pleasure to read aloud
