| book description |

The paperback of Walker's magnificent edition of Homer's epic story, illustrated with exquisite black and white silhouettes. Homerâ€™s great story is retold with simplicity and style by award-winning childrenâ€™s writer Gillian Cross, and vividly brought to life in Neil Packerâ€™s stunning illustrations. It charts the ten year epic voyage of Odysseus as he returns from the Trojan War to the island of Ithaca. On his journey he encounters all manner of perils, from the man-eating Cyclops and the evil sorceress Circe, to the deadly lure of the Sirens and the wrath of the sea-god Poseidon. Neil Packerâ€™s striking imagination, and his extraordinary use of dramatic silhouettes, capture the terrors of Odysseusâ€™s travels as well as the dangers faced by his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus at home. The illustrations are a perfect complement to Gillian Crossâ€™s beguiling narrative, which transports the reader effortlessly into Homerâ€™s world.
