<p><P><b>This exhilarating graphic-novel edition of an ancient classic honors the spirit of the original as it attracts modern readers.</b><P>The epic tale of the great warrior Beowulf has thrilled readers through the ages &#8212; and now it is reinvented for a new generation with Gareth Hinds&#8217;s masterful illustrations.
