Though I certainly knew of the poem earlier, my first
exposure to the story was John Gardner's 'Grendel', which
tells the first part of the story from the monster's POV.

I've seen it suggested that The Hobbit started off as
Tolkien retelling the second part (stealing from a dragons

My father could read it in Old English and did his Phd on Beowulf,
however it never made it into our bedtime stories (not that we ever
fell asleep drunk in a meadhall).  I gave him a copy of Anderson's
version of Hrolf Kraki's Saga once, but I don't recall what he
thought about it.
