Before King Arthur there was Beowulf, a young lord of great renown. When Beowulf hears that the monster Grendel is terrorizing a neighbor state, he and his men travel there to rid the land of this terrible monster. Beowulf battles Grendel; Grendel's mother, who is even more terrible than her son; and a dragon. These are tales of bravery and pride, boasting and accomplishment. After reading these grand adventures you'll understand why this epic remains one of England's National Treasures!
