A beautiful gift book full of wisdom and inspiration from Hollywood star Ethan Hawke

'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
