This is the story of a young warrior who travelled far across the sea to fight two terrifying monsters - one who could rip a man apart and drink his blood, the other who lived like a sea-wolf at the bottom of a dark blood-stained lake. His name was Beowulf and his story first written in Anglo-Saxon in the 8th century has become one of the world's most famous epics. Kevin Crossley-Holland has now retold the legend for children in strong rhythmical prose accompanied by Charles Keeping's brilliant drawings.
