Mike Walton of Cayuga has written what could arguably be the best translation of the early Anglo-Saxon poem, Beowulf.
Many of us have seen the modern movie version of the Old English poem ~ the first major poem in a European vernacular language.
Beowulf, a hero in Scandinavian folklore, defeats the monster Grendel and fights to his death with a dragon. A beautifully bound hardcover, Beowulf Anglo-Saxon epic in modern English is the perfect gift for the legend reader on your Christmas list.
First editions available at The Neat Little Bookshop.
We will have more information on this extraordinary book.
