"Great for storytelling and reading aloud, this book re-tells Homer's epic of Odysseus' perilous journey home."

Absolutely gorgeous, full-page colour illustrations by Christina Balit, highlight this story of Homer's magnificent epic, The Odyssey. Re-told for children by master storytellers Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden.

THE ADVENTURES OF ODYSSEUS tells the harrowing sea journey home after the long Trojan War. Poseidon, God of the ocean, is angry with our hero Odysseus, and creates many adventures for him to fight his way through to reach his beloved home. This will be the quest of a lifetime. Truly one of classic literature's "great adventure stories."
