A wonderful retelling of one of Britain's oldest stories., Sep 8 1999

Ce commentaire est de: Dragon Slayer: The Story of Beowulf (Paperback)
Ms. Sutcliff has again blowen the dust from the stories which have lain dormant on library shelves for so long and made them come alive. Beowulf has never been so exciting. His epic battles with three of the most horrifing creature in British liturature are amazingly terrifying and suspenseful but they are also profoundly human. Ms. Sutcliff allows feelings of sadness, trust, and loyalty to seep through the pages of the old story and into her hero's heart. She makes Beowulf not only into a great king and hero but into a great man as well.

Ce commentaire est de: Dragon Slayer (Audio Cassette)
Rosemary Sutcliff excels at bringing the classics to children in a fantastic way, and Dragon Slayer is no exception. The retelling of Beowulf in Sutcliff's words adds to the story. The narrated version is very well done. Sean Barrett's smooth British accent is perfect for this story. Beowulf, long ago, was always recounted aloud and so this taped version makes the whole experience that much more authentic.

Ce commentaire est de: Dragon Slayer: The Story of Beowulf (Paperback)
Rosemary Sutcliff takes the material from the epic poem Beowulf, andturns it into a prose novel aimed at young readers. She follows the man
through the three major confrontations he has with some very serious
beasties.
A story about dedication, bravery, duty and honor, and those who choose to uphold it.
