The Story of Beowulf Told to Children is an Anglo-Saxon saga retold in excellent English prose, with the heroic qualities emphasized.
Marshall's story relates how Beowulf, the hero of the Anglo-Saxons, journeys to Daneland, and how he overcomes Grendel, the ogre, and his mother, the water witch, then returns to his own land to serve as king.
After 50 years of peace, the fire dragon makes war on the Goth folk and Beowulf goes forth in combat against it, vanquishing his foe but in the end losing his life in ridding his people of its frightful enemy.
An outstanding introduction to this tale for children ages 8 and up.
