First edition, first printing, of this retelling of GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT primarily through the perspective of a woman, the witch Vivian.

This was Chapman's first book - published when she was 77 - and the first work in her Arthurian trilogy that prioritized female perspectives in the chivalric mythos. 7.75'' x 5''. Original olive green textured paper boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped (£2.50) green pictorial dust jacket. [6], 148 pages.
