<P><B>Viking dog Beowuff is all bark and no bite, a disgrace to the memory of his fierce ancestors</B></P><P>Beowuff and his weak-witted bench-mate Arnuf find themselves washed up at the Sine Carne monastery where a peace loving order of "meatless monks" work the earth. But the bewildered brothers are under attack from a ruthless pack of Dragon raiders—thieving heathens with the scent of monk-gold in their savage snouts. Will this day be the order's last? Some of Beowuff’s adventures may sound familiar to history lovers because they echo the ancient tale of Beowulf (1000 A.D.), one of the earliest recorded poems in Old English.
