Apologies, off topic I'm afraid, but the following may be of interest. Ian McKellen will be reading Simon Armitage's rendering into modern English of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight on Radio 4 at 2:15pm on Thursday, 21 December. "The core of the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight... embraces many elements central to Celtic mythology, the most prominent being the "severed head" theme..."*
