Monster Slayer by Brian Patten

The monster Grendel has awoken and the townspeople are terrified. Even the King has abandoned his great Hall. Hero after hero comes to slay the monster, but no one can outwit Grendel. Only Beowulf has a chance. But when Beowulf finally triumphs, an even greater horror awakens. Grendel's mother, the Hag, wants revenge on the slayer of her son. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.

Chris Riddell is an award-winning artist, cartoonist and author and was appointed the UK Children’s Laureate in 2015, a role which he used to promote the joy of drawing, doodling and telling stories. He lives in Brighton with his wife and three children, plus Rosie his invisible dog. Chris says that he gets up at 5.32 sharp every morning – “except on the days that I don’t”.
