Here is the perfect introduction to "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey, " two of the cornerstones of Western literature. All of the glories of Homer's world--from the mysterious Wooden Horse to Helen, whose beauty launched a thousand ships, to the fearsome one-eyed Cyclops--are here, refashioned into one seamless tale of adventure by three-time Newbery Honor winner Padraic Colum. Beautifully enhanced by Barry Moser's twelve bold, evocative color plates, this handsome book will stir the imagination of young and old alike.

About the Author
Padraic Colum(1881-1972) grew up in County Cavan, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States in 1914. Seeking to retain his knowledge of the Irish language, Colum (whose name is pronounced Pawtb-rig Ka-lem) began translating traditional folktales into English. He became well known for his retelling ability, and eventually three collections of his adaptions for children were named Newbery Honor Books.
