Literary scholars and translators Burton Raffel and Robert P. Creed collaborated on this collection of Old and modern English readings. Each track is read in its modern English translation, followed by its respective Old English lyrics. The opening track, “Caedmon’s Hymn,” is thought to have originated during the 7th century AD. Most lyrics translated here, however, come from various riddles. Side-by-side Old and modern English transcripts for all tracks are included in the liner notes.
