Beowulf (read by Seamus heaney)

As requested.

I'm also including a partial reading of Beowulf in Anglo-Saxon!

I also have an NPR teaser for their Beowulf, but have never found the actual presentation. Does anyone have it?

      Ahhh .. The Great White North!

      Happy thanksgiving!

      I think you also ought to have Chaucer in Middle English. I think I'll post that next ...

      I listened to this last night. Years ago I borrowed the cassette tape version from a library. It was great listening to it again. Those Vikings knew how to write!
      Thanks again.
