Nikki Aberquette Was the Old English Saga of Beowulf actually a story of memory, rather than of fiction? Nikki is an award nominated author and trained cultural anthropologist who has 15 years of research and exploration into global folklore and mythology and she discusses her revolutionary interpretation of the beloved story.

In this discussion, we also explore JRR Tolkien’s translations and historical investigation into understanding the saga, history and potential interpretations.
