: YOUR SO WELCOME>

: We are not sure since we do not keep mirrors about and rarely sit for portraits. One side of the family looks like one of Tolkien's Orcs -- but considerable larger -- and the other side of the family (the Wendols) resemble Cro-Magnon men.

: All in all we are a very handsome family.

: One of the best interpretations (we think)was by Brian Froude called "Grendel's Coming" it appears as Plate 12 in Bjork & Niles A BEOWULF HANDBOOK(University of Nebraska Press) and originally appeared in THE MAGIC OF WORDS: THE 1975 CHILDCRAFT ANNUAL (World Book). We don't yet have a scanner.

: Personally we think we have beautiful eyes just like SMAUG below and use 10 gallons of Visine weekly.

Plate 6 in Bjork & Niles is nice too, from the Cadillac copy of Burton Raffel's excellent translation.
