Description

‘A guide for living an upright and noble life’ The New Yorker ‘An easy and endearing read’ Publishers Weekly’Never announce you are a Knight, simply behave as one. You are better than no one, and no one is better than you.’ On the eve of a battle from which he fears he may not return, Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke writes a letter to his children so that he may pass on his-hard won lessons on knighthood. Drawing on philosophy and the great writings of our time, the letter provides instructions on living a life full of adventure, inspiration and, most importantly, love. Rules for a Knight is a beautiful fable by Ethan Hawke. ‘Philosophy lovers will enjoy the Eastern and Western philosophical musings, but everyone will enjoy the touching storyline’ Metro

Review Quote

A heartwarming, medieval tale on ethics . . . an easy and endearing read
Other text

Witty, wise, and ringing with emotional authenticity, Hawke's words blend pragmatism and romance without ever slipping into sanctimony or self-importance – the effect is powerful, enduring and deeply moving
