“Beowulf is probably the greatest surviving poem of medieval Anglo-Saxon literature… It is the story of heroes, of bravery and friendship and loyalty, told with a wonderful, powerful soars and eloquence that doesn’t let go of you until the very last word has been said. It is beautiful, it is bold and dramatic, it is funny and touching and above all, it is extraordinarily human.”

“Beowulf is an extraordinary adventure told in an extraordinary way. The words and images combine to create something quite unique, something that has lasted over a thousand years, something that quite simply and deeply moves the reader”.

“The story of Beowulf still speaks to us today over 1,700 years after it was first told. It is a wonderful and powerful story of courage, loyalty, friendship and victory over adversity. It is a story of epic heroism and honour.”
