Stories of Beowulf Told to Children [EPUB ebook] 

Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall achieved some notoriety in the early part of the 20th century for her historical works aimed at younger readers. Notable amongst these include 'Our Island Story’ which is a history of England from the time of the Roman Empire’s invasion of England until the death of Queen Victoria. In this work 'Stories of Beowulf Told to Children’ the author turns her attention to a retelling of England’s most famous work written in Old English, the heroic epic poem 'Beowulf.’ The classic battles of this epic in which Beowulf fights the Ogre Grendel, the Water Witch, and the dragon are retold here for a younger audience.
