" But it is his third terrible battle, with the death-dragon of the deep, in which he truly meets his match. It may be an old story, yet it troubles and terrifies us now as much as it ever did, for we still fear the evil that stalks out there in the darkness and beyond. This work retells and illustrates Beowulf's terrifying quest to destroy Grendel, the foul fiend, a hideous sea-hag and a monstrous fire-dragon. They are inseparable until Bertie is sent to boarding school far away in England and the lion is sold to a circus.

Beowulf is a Viking legend so if you like legends you should look no further and buy this book because Beowulf is the book for you. !
For one thing, I find this book is filled with wonder and excitement. The main character is as brave as brass (Beowulf he was called) because on countless attempts he saved King Hrothgar and his city Heorot from at first a blood thirsty monster and next the monster's sea-hag of a mother and later Beowulf's own people.

Beowulf is an extraordinary book for children aged 9+. This book makes me feel like I'm there.
Beowulf is a fantastic book with EYE-POPPING features. Beowulf is only one of Sir Michel Morpurgo best selling novels because it has lots of suspense making me want to carry on reading to see if the hero has met his match. This make-belief book is set in the deadly depths of Denmark around 400 AD, an especially troubling era.
My favourite quote is 'A formidable breeze brought then over the shallows' because it really describes the scene and it paints a picture in your head and only GREAT books do that! However, if you don't like legends than look on! Would I recommend it to a friend?
YES,YES,YES!
