In the Bowels of the British Museum

Deep in the bowels of the British Museum something unholy has come to life.....

The Commission has been alerted.

  1. I had a Penguin Books edition of Beowulf with that on the cover. Might still have it (somewhere).

    1. It's difficult not to think of Beowulf in the Sutton Hoo Gallery of the BM.
      The culture comes to life.

  5. Ah, Sutton Hoo, yes? I went to high school at RAF Woodbridge, just down the road from it. We has a teacher that was quite fanatical about Sutton Hoo, and we could get him to change any topic by mentioning Sutton Hoo. LOL, it's a fun memory...
