A horse in nineteenth-century England recounts his experiences with both good and bad masters.

When the council of Paradise Isle decided to knock down the old shops and warehouses and a build a motorway, Adam and his friends build a playground in a neglected area of the Isle.

This is the story of a young man who travelled far across the sea to fight two terrifying monsters-one who could rip a man apart and drink his blood, the other who lived like a sea-wolf at the bottom of a dark, blood-stained lake. The young hero's name was Beowulf, and his story, first writtenin Anglo-Saxon in the eighth century, has become one of the world's most famous epics. Kevin Crossley-Holland retells the story for children in quick-paced, rhythmical prose accompanied by Charles Keeping's striking illustrations. Together they bring to life the beauty and power of one of the firstgreat English poems.
