Hello, Beowulf Pilgrim!
Thanks
for visiting this site, and for your patience as I learn how to build
web pages. For what I've accomplished so far I owe a lot to SBI! (Site
BuildIt!) and an open-source WYSIWYG editor called
Nvu. It's so good
and so user-friendly I can hardly believe it's free!
If
you have a passion for
Beowulf
or want to comment on my site, I'd be very glad to hear from you, and
will get back as promptly as I can. I will appreciate any feedback
about bad links or any other problems you find on the site.
If
you like what you've found here so far, do bookmark
beowulf-country.org
and come back often -- I have tons more stuff to upload.
Wes thu hal!
(in Canadian, that's "Take care.")
-- Mike
Walton
P. S.:
If you want to order
The
Book of Beowulf, there are instructions
here.
Many people are understandably reluctant to give out their
e-mail addresses. I treat such info as strictly confidential, but if
you'd rather order by surface mail, use
option B.

Who's Mike
Walton?
Mike Walton came to Canada from London, England after
World War II. He worked at many jobs and studied literature at McMaster
University. For 35 years he taught English and other subjects, mostly
at Mohawk College, Hamilton, Ontario.

Mike's
passions include trees, old houses, nature photography and his three
grown children. He sings in a church choir and occasionally sings and
acts in local operas and plays. He lives in an old farmhouse near the
Grand River, north of Lake Erie.
In May 2007 he
finally published
The
Book of Beowulf. The First Edition is a hardcover; he
plans a paperback version in the near future. For the last three months
he has been very busy learning how to build a web site - this one!
The
Book of Beowulf opened up surprising new opportunities to
learn and travel. He's planning more travels to Scandinavia and other
places, including Netherlands, Scotland, Iceland and the Isle of Man,
so he can gather more material for
beowulf-country.org.
