There are some books when you just look at them

you know they are good quality.

This is one of these books. 

It is a beautiful hard-backed book that would

make a fantastic heirloom.

The story of Iliad is set whilst the Trojan War 

has been raging for almost ten years.

The Achaeans seek revenge against

the Trojans, ad there is no end in sight.

The gods become involved and swoop down from

Mount Olympus to join the fight.

The story of Iliad has been rewritten so it's easier for younger 

readers to read.

Although it's easier for reading it still keeps the

essence and feeling of the original story.

This is a story that will be read time and again

and with each read the child will see more of the story.

I am reading this to Little Red at the moment

and he is finding exciting and stimulating his imagination.

He loves stories that involve gods and wars.

He got so excited when he saw Zeus was in the story.

I would give this book 4.5 out of 5

I did receive a copy of the book to review.
However all opinions expressed are my own.
