Beowulf

by Michael Morpurgo

In fifth-century Denmark, a deadly monster named Grendel haunts the night—until Beowulf, a fearless prince of the Geats, arrives to face him.

Beowulf’s epic journey pits him against Grendel, a vengeful sea-hag, and a ferocious fire-breathing dragon. This legendary tale of bravery and battle is the oldest surviving epic in British literature.
