The mighty bear-like monster-slayer Beowulf, and Jason, captain of The Argo, a strange ship crewed by heroes with god-like powers; this book contains punchy, blood-drenched tales of both, as well as some additional odd tales about princesses, buckets, giant carnivorous books and the nefarious queens who feed them. Neil Foster MacPhail, famous modernizer of ancient epic tales, has done it again. Thrill to adventures featuring bronze giants, dragons breathing fire, foul monsters lodged in watery lairs deep under the sea, seductive witches transforming men into pigs, and feces-flinging, foul-mouthed harpies. It's all here.

Tales of the mighty monster-slayer Beowulf, as he encounters hideous, grim creatures that need killing.

Sent by his uncle on a mission from which he's not expected to return. Impossible obstacles and dangers stacked against him. Inexperienced captain of a crew of heroes and demi-gods with mysterious powers. It's going to be epic.
