Homer's epics become tales of adventure and marvel for the youngest readers in these remarkable retellings. Illustrated in Williams' well-loved comic-strip style, thess renditions feature snappy texts and riotously detailed panel artwork that is both faithful to the originals and delightfully modern in humor and appeal. The Iliad and the Odyssey
This was very Aussified and the drawings were somewhat dodgy.
It seemed to show that clothing was optional in that time but then it makes note of it later showing with Odysseus not wanting women to see him naked but I'll have to look into that.
It's a very VERY brief overview. I'll have to read the actual books though they seem pretty stupid stories. English I picked this up from the library because we are reading about Ancient Greece and I wanted to introduce the Iliad and the Odyssey to our children. I found the text very easy to read and the pictures to be funny (note: there are nudes but you don't see anything). The entire story is told in a comic book format which makes the epics very relatable to younger readers.
The best thing - our son said he can't wait to read other versions of the poems. I love books that make us want to read more books! English The book was quite a good one. What I liked about it was that the writer made the story very concise and easy to understand. She achieved this by using short and long sentences together and by not having big leaps in place or time all the time. Also her vocabulary and sentence structure also made the story very concise. English Cartoony. English Written for kids and people with reading challenges, but this book is great fun for all lovers of the Iliad and Odyssey English
