Critic Reviews

"The introduction to Gawain is a little masterpiece." ( Times Higher Educational Supplement)
"This magnificent Arthurian tale of love, sex, honour, social tact, personal integrity and folk-magic is one of the greatest and most approachable narrative poems in the language. Tolkien's version makes it come triumphantly alive, a moving and consoling elegy." ( Birmingham Post)

Great stories, extremely well translated

These stories/poems translated by J.R.R Tolkien and read by Terry Jones is incredible to listen too. They feel as though they are taken straight from the silmarilion
