(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Foreman. This thoughtful retelling preserves many of the qualities of the original text--rich language heavy with alliteration, strong emotions and violent battles, thoughtful reflections and nostalgic yearning. Foreman's soft and often pretty pictures of flowing-haired warriors and almost comic monsters in shadowed halls and murky landscapes seem aimed at a younger audience than does the text.
