A Garter as a Lesser Gift, by Aster Glenn Gray

Awww, a perfectly lovely retelling of Gawain and the Green Knight set in WWII, that does all the things one wants in such a retelling. A beautiful little gem of a novella. Gawain is lovely and charming, the Bertilaks compelling, the secondary characters richly drawn as well, and the story is fully present in its setting. I loved it!

Yesss, agreed on all counts! Isn't it fun? And so full of clever little details.
