Illustrations by Sean Yates enhance the reader's experience. \"Joshua Gray's poetic re-telling of the Beowulf epic as a tale for children gets to the essence of the action with a use of modern English which is accessible and clear for young minds, listening while busily building their own image-worlds... I have the sense that this new text may well encourage very young listeners, years later (after their bedtime stories are a distant memory), to recall this tale with pleasure and to discover a vibrant curiosity to know more about the doings of Hrothgar, Grendel and Beowulf.\" -- Benjamin Bagby, Performer of Beowulf \"Gray captures both the fearsomeness of the poem's monsters and the artful alliteration of its Anglo-Saxon origins...Hook the kids with this version, and hope that they will return to the longer poem in later years.\" -- Tod Linafelt, Georgetown University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Gray, Sean Yates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Six Shilling Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985175429\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Six Shilling Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40484131209331,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":25.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e2013f73-b186-4fe4-91a2-8482b2b71f21.jpg?v=1664634197","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/beowulf-a-verse-translation-with-young-readers-in-mind-9780985175429","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
