Illustrations by Sean Yates enhance the reader's experience. \"Joshua Gray's poetic re-telling of the Beowulf epic as a tale for children gets to the essence of the action with a use of modern English which is accessible and clear for young minds, listening while busily building their own image-worlds... I have the sense that this new text may well encourage very young listeners, years later (after their bedtime stories are a distant memory), to recall this tale with pleasure and to discover a vibrant curiosity to know more about the doings of Hrothgar, Grendel and Beowulf.\" -- Benjamin Bagby, Performer of Beowulf \"Gray captures both the fearsomeness of the poem's monsters and the artful alliteration of its Anglo-Saxon origins...Hook the kids with this version, and hope that they will return to the longer poem in later years.\" -- Tod Linafelt, Georgetown University","brand":"Zouch Six Shilling Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035870871792,"sku":"9780985175405","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985175405_p0.jpg?v=1763896872","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985175405","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
