I did not know that actor Ethan Hawke also wrote books but decided to give it a try. I went into Rules for a Knight knowing nothing about the story was pleasantly surprised to find an inspirational, philosophical, self-help book disguised as a letter from a knight to his children. A knight is away at battle and fears he may not survive so he writes a letter to his children giving advice how to be knightly through stories, adages, and lessons. The chapters include lessons on solitude, humility, forgiveness, honesty, courage, grace, pride, and patience.
I think this is a beautiful short, easy to read book and a great teaching tool.
