What is Beowulf and the Monsters about?
In a distant age of warriors and kings, the great hero Beowulf travels to Denmark to defend King Hrothgar’s mead hall from Grendel, a terrifying monster that strikes at night. After a fierce battle, Beowulf must face Grendel’s vengeful mother in her underwater lair. Years later, as an ageing king, he confronts a deadly dragon. This vivid retelling brings the famous Anglo-Saxon legend to life with courage, danger, monsters and heroic deeds.
