Simon Armitage does it again!

[MrsGuyOfGisbourne]

Sir Gwain and the Green Knight. Another uttely sublime read. Read half last night and FORCED myself to save the rest for this evening. have the fire laid, the wine breathing - as soon as the Dc are back from cubs and in bed I will savour every word!

Its a fabulous story, but its not his. He's just updated the language.

Anyway, was the 2nd half worth the wait ?

Its his updating the language to make it accessible AND hilarious that is the amazing gift. His translation of the Odyssey was a joy also.
Savoured a few more pages then DH put Ashes to Ashes on TV, which rather changed the ambiance. So tonite, another word orgy anticpated!!!!
