The famous Middle English poem by an anonymous Northern England poet is beautifully translated by fellow poet Simon Armitage. This audiobook features a brilliant reading of the translation by Bill Wallis; as a bonus, Wallis also masterfully tackles the poem in its original Middle English text.
“Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and then decapitates the intruder with his own axe. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. Next Yuletide, Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dream-like castle, a dire challenge answered, and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing.

One of the great English poems (so is Pearl, from the same manuscript).
A competent translation (rather than an inspired one) but you will need to read the original eventually either way.

Back in the day, Armitage himself (the current poet laureate) recorded the first five or so minutes for a Guardian give-away. It was quite excellent and it’s a real shame that he never did the rest.
