Beowulf: Dragon Slayer Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A childrens version of the story of the saga of Beowulf but as always with Rosemary Sutcliff well written enough to appeal to adults, with no important details omitted and told with an excellent understanding of dark ages culture. "

" This was the version of Beowulf that I read in high school and I think that Sutcliff did an excelent job with this story-form version. It is a great introduction to the basic tale. "

" I didn't read this edition...or at least the book I read didn't have that cover with the little "dragonslayer" addition to the title...And I wouldn't call him so much a "dragonslayer" as a "goblin-thingy-slayer" because that is far more accurate. "

" I though this was a good book. It was related to many other lengens. I though it was short and had a ast ending that had nothing o do with th story. Malik "

" I read some version of this way back. There's a reason it's a classic. "

" Well written intro to the Beowulf epic for kids. Treat yourself and read her beautiful take on the Arthurian legend--Sword at Sunset. "

" A clever and easily accessible re telling on the characters from Norsk legend Beowulf and his epic adventures. "

" Sutcliff does it again, taking one of the great works of Western civilization and making it readable for kids. Rather than a substitute for Beowulf, I think that this lyric retelling will leave kids with a taste for the original when they're old enough to tackle it. Highly recommended. "

" It was OK. I wouldn't teach this one again, though. "
