About this audiobook
Beowulf, a masterpiece of ancient literature, reminds us of a world prior to the scientific revolution where things were dark and monsters roamed in swamps and dragons hoarded gold in mountains. Beowulf is a character to be admired yet not without caution. Timeless this oft translated piece of Old English literature will be sure to delight and teach you something just as it did the first time it was told long ago under some great lodge lit by woodfires that sought to block out some dark and cold wintry night.
