About this listen

When first published, Walker’s versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey attracted attention for the quality of the writing.

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.

Excellent narrator, good retelling of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Recommended for anyone wanting a quick accessible introduction to the Greek myths.

It might be designed for children but it's a very good listen for adults too.

We listened in the car as we toured around Kephalonia - Ithica is the next door island and the proximity certainly spurred the kids' (15,13 and 10) early interest but soon we were all hooked on Odysseus' adventures

Great stories that all the family enjoyed
