Beowulf the Hero

Author: Tony BradmanIllustrator: Tony Ross

Did you ever wish for a version of Beowulf that younger children could read on their own? Bradman and Ross have provided just that in a book that is short enough to hold and keep children’s attention and with illustrations that help children appreciate the characters involved in this story. Two pages at the back of the book provide additional information about the epic poem on which this adaptation is based. The book is part of a series, ‘greatest adventures in the world’ and if the standard of this book is anything to go by, the other titles will certainly merit attention too.
