About
Horothgar, King of the Danes, invites warriors from neighboring kingdoms to his great mead hall with the hope that one of them will solve his problem. A monster named Grendel has been terrorizing the land and killing his people. One of the warriors who answers this call is our epic hero, Beowulf.
The Beowulf Manuscript, also known as the Nowell Codex, dates back to the late 10th century or early 11th century and is the only copy in existence. In 1731, the manuscript was damaged from the Cotton Library fire, making several lines in the poem unreadable. Today, advanced techniques are being used to preserve the document and reveal missing letters.
Perfect for readers who crave timeless tales of heroism, monster-slaying adventures, and the foundational epic of English literature! This legendary Anglo-Saxon masterpiece delivers epic battles, supernatural creatures, and a warrior's journey that has captivated audiences for over a thousand years.
