Description: Beowulf retold by Rosemary Sutcliff with drawings by Charles Keeping. 1st edition hardback published by The Bodley Head in 1961. Very good condition. Blue cloth boards with gold spine text. Original paper dustjacket as shown. Book is clean throughout. Dustjacket is clean and bright with some torn areas and missing edges. Also tape marks on the edge of the dustjacket and onto the front and rear pastedown. Internally excellent condition though. Some light age marks or reading wear but nothing significant. Some date stamps on the rear pastedown so possibly ex-library. A very well respected adaptation of the Beowulf story, here in its first edition. See photos for more information. Any questions please ask.
