I had to read it in Early English Lit class. It's the first written story in the ENglish language (written in Old English) and was also the first to be bastardized by its writers. The monks who committed the story of oral tradition to paper added as many god references as they could. But the original story is still there, between the lines.
It's a story of a hero and his tribe of people in a strange, cold, and not too friendly land, fighting a mysterious monsterin the night. Very archetypal and quite a good read if you're into mythology at all.
