Beowulf

<p><b>The epic Anglo-Saxon legend is brilliantly recreated by an award-winning author/illustrator team.</b><br><br>In fifth-century Denmark, a murderous monster stalks the night, and only the great prince of the Geats has the strength and courage to defeat him. Beowulf's terrifying quest to destroy Grendel, the foul fiend, a hideous sea-hag and a monstrous fire-dragon is the oldest surviving epic in British literature. Artfully retold and magnificently illustrated, this companion volume to <i>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</i> is made instantly accessible to children by a formidable children's book partnership.</p>
