Download or read book The Adventures of Beowulf written by Clara Thomson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old English poem, Beowulf, though familiar to students of literature, is a sealed book to the average boy and girl. For this reason, if for no other, Miss Clara Thomson has done a real service to the cause of education by presenting an admirable version of the poem in an inexpensive form so as to be readily accessible to children. The introduction is, perhaps, a little too erudite for juvenile readers, and there is a note of Imperialism in it which may not be altogether calculated to produce a good effect on the youthful Anglo-Saxon mind. The narrative, as Miss Thomson has dealt with it, is really a most delightful story of adventures. The little volume is nicely printed and is issued at almost a nominal price. -The Westminster Review, Vol. 152 [1899]

Book excerpt: The EASY READING edition of the epic 3,182 line poem especially retold for children and young adults by Strafford Riggs. If you ever just wanted to know the story of Beowulf without having to plough through the 3,182 lines of the epic poem, then this book is for you, because here it has been retold in the form of an easy reading novel aimed at children and young people. Set in the time when men were knighted for achieving great feats, and great the feats of Beowulf were. Dismissed by the King’s Earls as clumsy, lazy and a sluggard, he was also shunned by his peers for his strength and prowess with the sword and spear. On hearing of the monster Grendel, he announced his intention to sail for the Daneland to prove his worth and prove his accusers wrong. And this he did, killing not only the monster Grendel but also its evil monster-mother. On his return home he was proclaimed the greatest hero of the North by the very same who condemned him. In time he becomes king of Geatsland and an extended period of prosperity follows, ended only by a flame-breathing, steam belching dragon. Once again our hero sallies forth. Once again the dragon is defeated, but this time so is our hero. The Saga of Beowulf was written in Olde England, but set in Scandinavia. It has variously been dated to between the 8th and the early 11th centuries. In its original form it is an epic poem told in historical perspective; a story of epic events and of great people of a heroic past. 33% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Beowulf: Translated From the Old English and Adapted to the Use of Schools F any one were to ask you why you are proud of England, and why you would rather belong to it than to any other country in the world, you would no doubt have a great many answers ready. You might say, because it is so rich, or so powerful, or because the people living in it have so much liberty. But perhaps one reason for admiring and loving it would not occur to you till the last; yet it is a very good one, and one that seems better and better the older you grow, and the more you read and learn. And it is this. England has had better writers and poets than any other land except Greece; as far back as we know anything about our countrymen they were poets as well as soldiers and sailors. But the soldiers and sailors and poets all helped to make one another famous; for the soldiers and sailors did great deeds, and the poets made great verse about them.

Book excerpt: “Will fire imaginations and elicit the heart-pumping, wide-eyed response that has kept this tale alive and vigorous through the ages.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) Long ago a Scandinavian warrior fought three evils so powerful they threatened whole kingdoms. Standing head and shoulders above his comrades, Beowulf single-handedly saved the land of the Danes from a merciless ogre named Grendel and from his sea-hag mother. But it is his third terrible battle, with the death-dragon of the deep, in which he truly meets his match. Lovers of heroes, monsters, and the drama of battle will find this retelling as enthralling as it is tragic. Now in a handy black-and-white digest edition perfect for classroom use.
