Beowulf

Hubby and I can both be voracious readers, given half a chance...and we have birthed at least one other. We don't confine ourselves to one genre of literature, but try to experience them all. I have to say, push come to shove, if we don't have anything on the top of the reading pile we will reach for a) something we've read previously and loved or b) a classic.

How cool is it to find Beowulf...in old English (with modern English subtitles) performed in such an inspiring way...

These are the opening lines...

This is Grendel's ambush...

This is the battle...


Kind of makes you want to read it...doesn't it?
