Publisher's Summary
A four-time Academy Award nominee, twice for writing and twice for acting, Ethan Hawke has starred in the films Dead Poets Society, Reality Bites, Gattaca, and Training Day as well as Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise trilogy and Boyhood. He is the author of the novels The Hottest State and Ash Wednesday.
'Never announce you are a Knight, simply behave as one. You are better than no one, and no one is better than you'.
When Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke was a boy, his grandfather taught him how to be a knight. Now, on the eve of a battle from which he fears he may not return, Sir Thomas writes a letter to his children, so that he may pass on all his hard-won lessons, deepest aspirations and most instructive failures.
Full of adventure and wit, the letter provides a guide for living a good and noble life - a reminder that without a little agony none of us would bother to learn a thing; that we must work together as brothers or perish together as fools; that a friend loves you because you are true to yourself, not because you agree with him. And, most importantly, it shows that there is no obstacle that enough love cannot move.

Truly a treat
The world needs the ancient knights and dames — of course, at any time, but more so now.
This book makes some of their essential values accessible and offers inspiration.
What I didn’t like — indeed a very minor irritation— was that some of the anecdotal wisdom in the book is already known and derives fame and familiarity from varied ancient philosophical traditions.
The presentation or narration is pleasant and faithful to the content it delivers.
Overall, a good character-building book.
