Rosemary Sutcliff has used an old English epic poem about Beowulf as the basis for this retelling in the form of a children’s book. It is fairly scary in parts, especially Grendels attacks, which are stopped when he meets Beowulf, ‘this time his hand was met and seized in a grasp such as he had never felt before; a grasp that had in it the strength of thirty men.

Rosemary Sutcliff excels at bringing the classics to children in a fantastic way, and Dragon Slayer is no exception. The retelling of Beowulf in Sutcliff's words adds to the story. The narrated version is very well done. Sean Barrett's smooth British accent is perfect for this story. In this thrilling re-telling of the Anglo-Saxon legend, Rosemary Sutcliff recounts Beowulf's most terrifying quests: against Grendel the man-wolf, against the hideous sea-hag and, most courageous of all - his fight to the death with the monstrous fire-drake.
