A Companion to Beowulf by Ruth A. Johnston
( Attached is a photograph of the two copies of Beowulf A Companion that arrived today. )
The dedication is so profound: "For my sons and for all who would be heroes in a difficult world."
ISBN: 978-0-9831810-0-2
$15.95
Also profound is the question posed by the opening paragraph:
"WHY SHOULD ANYONE READ Beowulf more than a thousand years after it was written?"
"What is Beowulf about and why is it important?"
