"Good retelling of the Iliad for young readers. It's been a while since I read the Iliad, but I sense Sutcliff sticks very close to the text, simplifying nicely."
"This is one of the best books we've read over the years. This with Padraic Colum's book make a perfect set to read-aloud to elem. school kids, and it's great for jr high ages to read themselves preping to read the real thing. I highly recommend it also for adults who want the story without the time commitment of the original."
