Considering our present day addiction to fantasy literature, film, and television, this new version of ''Grendel'' will not be out of place on any fan's bookshelf. It is a classic and seminal work of fantasy fiction that will be read as easily today as it was when it was first published. And especially since more and more writers are attempting to import some more sophisticated language and ideas into their fantasy storytelling, this novel will seem entirely fashionable, perhaps to the extent that we'd never realise it was written forty-odd years ago.
Readers may wish to try two other fantasy staples: [[The Hobbit by J R R TolkeinJRR Tolkien]] is another classic work of fantasy fiction that plays on the ''Beowulf'' story, which is essential reading for anyone interested in the genre; [[Mort by Terry Pratchett]], again, is also a funny and original addition to fantasy fiction.
