Homer’s Odyssey is one of the greatest stories in
literature—the epic tale of the return of Odysseus to his home following
the Trojan war.
After nine years of siege and fighting, the
Greeks are finally returning home. However, one of the Greek heroes,
Odysseus, offends the Sea God, who for ten years sends storms and waves
to keep him from arriving home. In this thrilling story, we follow
Odysseus’s trials and adventures as he faces one danger after another on
his long journey.
In Isabel Wyatt’s retelling of this
magnificent adventure, we find all the wonderful storytelling skills for
which she is well known. This is the first publication of this work.
