| 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, thirty of Hrothgar's best and noblest thanes were missing. Only Beowulf has the strength and courage to battle with Grendel the man-wolf. This is a thrilling re-telling of the mighty warrior's most terrifying quests: against Grendel, against the hideous sea-hag and, most courageous of all, his fight to the death with the monstrous fire-drake." |
