The Odyssey
Autor Gillian Cross Ilustrat de Neil Packeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2025 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Odysseus faces storm and shipwreck, a terrifying man-eating Cyclops, the alluring but deadly Sirens, and the fury of the sea-god Poseidon as he makes his ten-year journey home from the Trojan War. While Odysseus struggles to make it home, his wife, Penelope, fights a different kind of battle as her palace is invaded by forceful, greedy men who tell her that Odysseus is dead and she must choose a new husband. Will Odysseus reach her in time? Homer’s epic, age-old story is powerfully told by Carnegie Medalist Gillian Cross and stunningly illustrated by rising talent Neil Packer.

Every image seems to have been created with unhurried care; it’s a quiet but monumental piece of work.

Gorgeous.

While Cross and Packer are not asking us to replace Homer on the bookshelf, their addition is certainly worthy of sharing shelf space.

Interesting and imaginative.
