Night after night, the ogre Grendel, who lives "in the dragon marshes of Denmark," breaks into King Hrothgar's hall and eats his fill of men. A bold young man hears of the ogre and sails to Denmark to help the king. Hrothgar's guards stop him as he approaches: "Who are you to come helmet-and-spear to the great king's hall?" "Beowulf is my name," he responds. This retelling of the classic poem was written using only words of Anglo-Saxon origin. Fullcolor ink and watercolor illustrations. Author's note.
