The story of Beowulf and Grendal told for children. It's pretty graphic in places, so not for really young ones in my opinion. Though I've loved this story since I was young.

I picked this book up purely because it was illustrated by Chris Riddell - I love his illustrations. It's a really lovely edition, smaller than a standard paperback, interesting colour choices too, with easy to read well spaced font.
