Yvain: The Knight of the Lion by Chrétien de Troyes
4.0
This was a little out of my usual reading material but as Yvain (Owen) is my son’s namesake I wanted to explore what made him such a popular knight.
I thought a book of French poetry would be more of a struggle, but the translation quickly transported me to Camelot. Between his marital issues (forgetting as he was on adventures), how he gained his lion/best friend, to defeating the Giant that threatened to give the local princess to his henchman, this was a really fun read.
