'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.
