(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Everett Fisher. This energetic distillation of the oldest surviving epic poem in English literature tells of the Viking hero Beowulf's defeat of Grendel, a monster who has been ravaging Denmark. Pared to its dramatic essence, the story has enough action to satisfy even today's media-saturated youngsters. Fisher's large, solid figures in a brooding palette are worthy of Kimmel's text.
