Monster Slayer

The story of Beowulf and Grendal told for children. It's pretty graphic in places, so not for really young ones in my opinion. Though I've loved this story since I was young.

I picked this book up purely because it was illustrated by Chris Riddell - I love his illustrations. It's a really lovely edition, smaller than a standard paperback, interesting colour choices too, with easy to read well spaced font.
