Review: We were more than pleased with the book. It told the stories contained in the Iliad in a comic manner. The illustrations enhanced the written material. If you want a delightful introduction into the characters of Odysseus and Achilles this may well be the book for you. It is a shame in the take a look section of the book you mostly get to see the illustrations of warriors which robs you of a chance to observe the sparkling wit of Marcia Williams. It is the language young fresh and punchy that makes you look forward to the next burst of enlightened humour. They are wonderful stories that have travelled through thousands of years with good reason. Enjoy!

Review: It was an interesting read made more so by the fun cartoon like illustrations. I actually thought it would be really effective for engaging my seniors.

    Description: Homer's two epics of the ancient world, The Iliad and The Odyssey, tell stories as riveting today as when they were written between the eighth and ninth century B.C. This edition employs Samuel Butler's classic translations of both texts. The Iliad, which tells of the siege of Troy by the Greeks, is an unforgettable tale of nations at war and of the courage and compassion heroic soldiers show upon the field of battle. The Odyssey is the story of the Greek hero Odysseus and the many marvels and challenges he encounters during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. .

    Description: Gillian Cross's brilliant retellings and Neil Packer's clever illustrations bring to life Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, two of the greatest stories ever told. When first published Walker's versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey attracted attention both for the quality of the writing and for their amazingly stylish artwork. Multi-award-winning author Gillian Cross makes two of the greatest stories in the world come alive for children in her strong, clear, deceptively simple retellings, which are faithful to the spirit and structure of Homer's epic poems, and this new bind-up in a friendly format comes complete with an introduction and a generous selection of Neil Packer's fabulous illustrations in black and white.
