Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Signed by Gardner on blank page after FFEP. 7th printing; early reprint of this US edition, first printed in same month, September 17 and reprinted five times before this printing. Fair to guess it was selling out quickly. This has always been my favorite edition of Grendel with the wonderful Emil Antonucci drawers and striking purple cloth covered boards with illustration & lettering in gold. Mildly edgeworn jacket (without the frequently found spine sunning! ). Also not price clipped. Original price of $6.95 on flap. Clean, bright purple boards with sharp corners and only mild fade to gilt spine lettering. Sound binding. Bright, clean orange topstain with faint, small spot of lightening at spine side.
synopsis was a little different than story,but it was a great story,should be in young adults

Grendel
A nice angle to a well known loved story. A bit depressing but then melancholy never really hurt a literature nut.

Great version
My 20 year old son lost this book in a move and was genuinely upset. He says it is excellent and prefers it's tale to the original version...I plan on reading it after refreshing my memory of Beowulf.

Excellent Book!
Once you read the English poem, Beowulf, and know the basic story line, this book is amazing. Of course, it depends on whether or not you like to analyze books. It's definitely a fun read without analyzation, but chapter five will most certainly fly over your head if you don't understand existentialism and nihilism. It's a great book for AP English Literature students (or anyone looking for a fun parody).
