Episode 11 - Beowulf Part 1

from Dragonfly Tales Hosted by Emily Hanna-Grazebrook Dragonfly Tales

Hello listeners! This episode we are going BIG with an epic tale from 1000 years ago. He's strong, he's brave, he's Swedish - he's BEOWULF! This story is said to be the greatest (and possibly oldest) epic poem written down in the English language - though it's an English we wouldn't recognise today. The Beowulf manuscript is kept at the British Library and you can find out more about it HERE. WARNING - The monsters in the story are quite scary and the story is a bit creepy and gory. So feel free to check out another episode if you want to. Part 2 is coming next week so be sure to listen out! Remember to join us over on Patreon.
