Read an updated translation of the classic English epic poem, and discover what happens next in the two exciting sequels, all collected here in one edition. About one and a half millennia ago, an anonymous author gave the world Beowulf, the first great epic written in what would become the English language. The poem follows the adventures of Beowulf, hero of the Geats, as he battles the monstrous Grendel, Grendel’s fearsome mother, and a deadly dragon. After the hero meets his death, readers are left with the question: What will happen now? Without their champion, hero, and king, the Geats are defenseless against their enemies. With The Beowulf Trilogy, author Christopher L. Webber shares his own translation of the original epic and also answers the question of what happens next with two epic poems of his own. In Beyond Beowulf, follow the Geats as they welcome a new leader, Wiglaf, the young warrior who aided Beowulf in his encounter with the dragon. He helps the tribe search or a new home while contending with threats from storms, trolls, and the Saxon army. Then, in Yrfa’s Tale, Webber looks beyond the warrior’s viewpoint to give a perspective from Wiglaf’s wife and family, and the emotional toll of their struggle. In The Beowulf Trilogy, Webber gives readers a complete picture of Beowulf’s world, a somber and magical land full of adventure and turmoil. Praise for The Beowulf Trilogy “[Webber’s] translation’s clean, musical lines are excellent for reading aloud. The two sequels also maintain the original’s language and narrative style. . . . Succeeds in both respecting and enriching the venerable original.” —Kirkus Reviews
Beowulf, the oldest saga in the English language, ends with Beowulf's death and premonitions of disaster as his people face their enemies alone. For over a thousand years, the world has waited to hear what happened next. Beyond Beowulf provides the answer. Author Christopher L. Webber provides a flashback to one of Beowulf's adventures in a voyage to the New World and an epic battle with a sea monster. In search of security, Beowulf's people embark on a sea voyage that leads to encounters with trolls and hostile tribes as well as a peaceful reception by monastic communities along the English coast. But this is more than an adventure yarn; along the way the text also confronts us with the very modern problem of refugees and puts forward a poignant appeal for peace.

“Will fire imaginations and elicit the heart-pumping, wide-eyed response that has kept this tale alive and vigorous through the ages.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) Long ago a Scandinavian warrior fought three evils so powerful they threatened whole kingdoms. Standing head and shoulders above his comrades, Beowulf single-handedly saved the land of the Danes from a merciless ogre named Grendel and from his sea-hag mother. But it is his third terrible battle, with the death-dragon of the deep, in which he truly meets his match. Lovers of heroes, monsters, and the drama of battle will find this retelling as enthralling as it is tragic. Now in a handy black-and-white digest edition perfect for classroom use.
