Beowulf by Rosemary Sutcliff
A heroic Geatish warrior answers a Danish king’s plea when a monstrous fiend named Grendel terrorizes a great hall; after defeating Grendel with his bare hands and then slaying the creature’s vengeful mother beneath a shadowy mere, he returns home, later becomes a wise and long‑reigning ruler, and in his final act faces a dragon threatening his kingdom, slaying it but suffering a mortal wound—an epic tale of bravery, loyalty, fate, and the burdens of leadership.
