About the book

Beowulf is the great Old English epic poem about a warrior who travels to Denmark to defeat the monster Grendel. After overcoming Grendel and the monster's mother, Beowulf later becomes king and eventually faces a dragon in his final battle. The poem explores heroism, loyalty, kingship, fate and mortality and remains one of the foundational works of English literature.
