The Green Knight's Game

This story is lovingly adapted from the 14th century chivalric poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” by an unknown poet. I’ve taken liberties with the format and toned down some episodes, but this story contains material that might be scary for younger listeners. Listener discretion is advised. - ✨Pre-order is live for the Sleep & Sorcery book!✨ https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/sleepandsorcery Sleep & Sorcery: A Collection of Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Meaningful Rest, coming August 2024 from Crossed Crow Books.
