Adventures of Odysseus - Softcover

'Barefoot Books are a small publisher of stunning picture books of classic tales and poems: one in particular is, The Adventures of Odysseus, which retells the story in a clear and thoughtful way, with striking Art Deco-style illustrations on every page.' --Literary Review

'Their dramatic re-telling of the adventures of Odysseus flows with the rhythms of a stormy sea, and captured all the terror and tedium of a nightmare voyage. Christina Balit's stunning artwork perfectly frames the tumultuous plot, as her creations emerge from the margins with the strength and shimmer of stained glass. A real treat. It is hard to pick a favourite from my top four books, but I have chosen this dazzling new edition of The Adventures of Odysseus wish combines a page-turning text with powerful pictures. Every school library should have one!' --Junior Education, Reviewer's Choice
