128 pp. (unpaginated); color illus. A reissue of the art of Hinds' Collected Beowulf (2000) from a new publisher and with completely different text.

Hinds' note on the art media he used, from his website (https://www.garethhinds.com/beowulf.php, as of March 22, 2019):

The three sections of Beowulf are done in different materials. Part 1 is drawn with ink using a dip pen and brush, then colored digitally. Part 2 is drawn and painted on wood panels using technical pen, watercolor, acrylic, and color pencil. Part 3 is drawn like part 1, but colored using Dr. Martin's dye and white charcoal.

The excerpts from Gummere's translation originally used by Hinds are here replaced with text selected and paraphrased from the children's version of A. J. Church (1898), as the Author's Note explains:

For this edition, the author and editors have prepared a new text, based on the translation by A. J. Church published by Seeley & Co. in 1904 [sic]. This is a colloquial translation, and we have attempted to strike a balance between easy readability and the poetic drama found in our favorite verse translations (particularly that of Francis Gummere, which appeared in the original, self-published edition of this book). ([7])

The text begins:

In the days of old, the House of the Scyldings ruled in Denmark. The first of the line was Scyld, whom men called Son of the Sheaf because he came no man knew whence, as a little child, in a boat with a sheaf of corn, floating on the waves. He grew to be a mighty man of valor, subduing the robber tribes that prowled the seas and compelling all nations round him to pay tribute. A good King was he and great, and God gave him a son for the comfort of his people, for He knew in what evil a nation stands that lacks a king to rule over it. ([8])

And ends:

The folk of Geatland built upon the headland a great barrow, with a tower broad and high, visible to ocean-farers from afar. And in its vault they heaped the hoard—glittering spoils they had taken from the Worm's lair—trusting it to the ground, gold in the earth, useless to men as of yore it was. ([124])
