About the Author:
Hugh Lupton & Daniel Morden are already well-known for their adult retelling of The Odyssey. Daniel has been telling stories since 1998, and lives in Wales. Hugh has worked on a number of other Barefoot titles, including The Story Tree and the award-winning Tales of Wisdom & Wonder. Hugh has been a professional storyteller for the past two decades. When he isn't performing in festivals around the world, he lives in Norfolk. Christina Balit spent much of her early life in the Middle East, before moving to London to study at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art. She has illustrated many highly acclaimed books. Christina lives with her husband and two children in Kent.
From School Library Journal:
Starred Review. Grade 3-7–Both Lupton and Morden bring their long and prestigious careers as storytellers to their retelling of the Odyssey–with impressive results. The power and drama of this classic tale have been retained, but the sentence structure has been simplified in such a way as to maintain the flow of the story yet be accessible to younger readers. The vocabulary is challenging–diadem, inscrutable, and implacable on the first page alone, but appropriate. Balit's watercolor, gouache, and gold-ink illustrations incorporate traditional Greek styles with contemporary elements and complement the text. This excellent source for introducing the timeless tale to a new generation should be considered a first purchase for most collections.–Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ
