"For the young reader in the hero-worship stage and for those boys and girls who demand vigorous action, there are few stories more satisfying than that of Beowulf, the great Geat warrior whose mighty battles with the monster Grendel and his fierce mother have echoed through literature for more than a thousand years. The story of his battles, his long and peaceful reign as a good and just king, and at last his fatal fihgt with the dragon in defense of his people is here retold with beauty, dignity and simplicity." --Jacket
