Summary
Grendel prowled in, hating all men and all joy and hungry for human life. So swift was his attack that no man heard an outcry; but when the dawn came, 30 of Hothgar's best and noblest thanes were missing.
Only Beowulf, foremost among warriors, has the strength and courage to battle with Grendel the Night-stalker. In this thrilling re-telling of the Anglo-Saxon legend, Rosemary Sutcliff recounts Beowulf's most terrifying quests: against Grendel the man-wolf, against the hideous sea-hag and, most courageous of all - his fight to the death with the monstrous fire-drake.

Superb version
I can’t fathom why rosemary sutcliff is touted as a children’s author - this excellent version of Beowulf is not especially a children’s version, and it’s excellently performed by Sean Barrett. Don’t pass over this rendition, assuming it’s somehow simplified for children - it’s really not. Sutcliff had a real genius for drawing out the essence of a great story.
