Description
A stunning prose retelling of Beowulf from an author-illustrator dream-team is now available in paperback. One dark night, the music and singing wake a monster from a swamp, and a series of brave warriors attempts to slay it. However, no one can outwit the monster, Grendel, until the great hero Beowulf stands a chance. But even he is not prepared for the horror that lies in wait. This retelling is particularly suitable for readers who may struggle with traditional versions of the tale. The stunning prose brings the story to life in a way that is both exciting and accessible. With its unique blend of prose and illustration, this book is a great choice for readers looking for a fresh take on a classic legend.
