Ehm...Beowulf isn't about a Dutch noble man; it was written before Holland came into existence, in Old English.

Hundreds..........thousands.........who can really say for sure..... I think it depends on what your definition of a book is. Mine is " a heavy, over 600 paged novel". My cousins say a picture book is big. Can you see the difference? I don't count picture books, some people might... Crystal I think...
