      An award-winning duo teams up for Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. England's children's laureate Michael Morpurgo retells this classic medieval tale with illustrations by Michael Foreman. Morpurgo handles the text with care and gives young readers just enough of the humor and darkness of the original tale without overwhelming them. .

      Gr 5-8-Sir Gawain's greatest challenge is a quest of honor as well as courage, with deeper meanings embedded in the fast-moving plot. Morpurgo's sprightly retelling contains equal doses of horror and humor, while Foreman's larger-than-life watercolor and pastel paintings enliven the story in brilliant hues and bloody detail.
