The Odyssey: A Modern Retelling by Liv Albert

The Odyssey retold for young readers by Liv Albert, who makes the Greek myth podcast Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! It is a DK hardback, illustrated throughout by Hazem Asif.

This is Homer's Odyssey made clear and vivid for children: Odysseus trying to get home after ten years of war, past the Cyclops, the Sirens, the witch Circe and a good few furious gods. Maps, character profiles and background facts sit alongside the story, and Odysseus comes across as clever and flawed rather than a straightforward hero.

An illustrated retelling of a classic, for readers around 7 and up.
