Beowulf

"This child’s laureate knows how to tell a tale for children. I’ve been obsessed with the original Beowulf and have poured over every line for nearly two decades. But Morpurgo manages to maintain the magic, monsters and military might of the original, while creating a story that modern day children can connect with. “ This book will bring many new young readers to the original English epic” Despite being a serious Anglo-Saxon scholar, I am passionate about sharing and communicating the things I love with wider audiences. This book manages that beautifully and will bring many new young readers to the original English epic."
