BEOWULF (LADYBIRD EXPERT)

For an adult readership, the Ladybird Expert series is produced in the same iconic small hardback format of the original Ladybirds. Plunge into the adventures of Beowulf, the 6th Century hero who defeated the monster Grendel, became king of his people, and slayed a tremendous dragon. Surviving in a single, burnt manuscript, Beowulf continues to entrance readers and inspire major works of fantasy today. Janina Ramirez's Beowulf is an accessible and authoritative guide to the spellbinding world and daring feats of a poem remembered through the centuries.
