About this title

About the Author:

Hugh Lupton has been a central figure in the British storytelling revival for thirty years. He tells myths, legends and folk tales from many cultures. His many books include Tales of Wisdom and Wonder, The Story Tree, Tales of Mystery & Magic and his novel The Ballad of John Clare. He lives in Norfolk. Daniel Morden has been a professional storyteller since 1989. His book Dark Tales from the Woods won the Tir na nOg Children's Book Prize in 2007. Daniel lives with his family in Abergavenny, Wales. In 2006, Daniel and Hugh received the Classical Association's Award for 'the most significant contribution to the public understanding of the classics.' Christina Balit is an award-winning illustrator and playwright who spent part of her childhood in Lebanon and Greece. Christina has been shortlisted twice for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

Review:

The authors tell the story in plain English that somehow still seems grander than the average mortal tale. Combined with Christina Balit s striking illustrations, the adventures are engaging and the deeds are noble. This retelling of The Adventures of Odysseus is an excellent introduction to the world of heroes and myths, guaranteed to whet a young person s appetite for more timeless tales of adventure and courage. --Curled Up Kids
