Beowulf

by Laura Sampson and Minnie Wilkinson

There’s a recipe for renown: ‘Save the day. Beat monsters. Gift your reward to the right receiver.’

And also: don’t get old.

Beowulf is a hero destined for renown: he’s made sure of it. He knows his history, and he knows his enemy. But there are always other enemies, and the ‘truth’ of a history always depends on its tellers …

Dive with Minnie Wilkinson and Laura Sampson into a mere of epic heroes - a time and place where it’s not about living, it’s about living on. To do that, you have to win.

To win, you have to fight.
To fight, you have to forget you’re afraid to die.
