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

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

Reviews

A heartwarming, medieval tale on ethics . . . an easy and endearing read
*Publishers Weekly*

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
*Kirkus Review*

A guide for living an upright and noble life
*The New Yorker*

Philosophy lovers will enjoy the Eastern and Western philosophical musings, but everyone will enjoy the touching storyline
*Metro*

Hawke's book of wisdom declaring life to be a gift should be pondered
*Booklist*
