Description: Each of our three books (Beowulf, Le Morte D’Artur, and Gawain and the Green Knight) is written from the Medieval per- spective of a Catholic faith demanding heroic action and courtesy in the world in imitation of Christ our Master. J.R.R. Tolkien’s complete familiarity with these works made them a kind of canvas from which he drew forth the high virtues of his own Lord of the Rings. Come and investigate the medieval roots of our Catholic culture!
