Ottimo
L'autrice ha trovato un'ottimo modo per favorire l'approccio dei bambini ai classici attraverso i fumetti (in lingua inglese).

Muy divertido
Como todas las las de Marcia Williams, es una versión muy divertida de la obra. Me encanta y lo recomendaría a todos los que desean divertirse e instruirse en inglés.

We were more than pleased with the book
We were more than pleased with the book. It told the stories contained in the Iliad in a comic manner. The illustrations enhanced the written material. If you want a delightful introduction into the characters of Odysseus and Achilles this may well be the book for you. It is a shame in the take a look section of the book you mostly get to see the illustrations of warriors which robs you of a chance to observe the sparkling wit of Marcia Williams. It is the language young fresh and punchy that makes you look forward to the next burst of enlightened humour. They are wonderful stories that have travelled through thousands of years with good reason. Enjoy!

Best intro to the Greek legends
We were gifted this book when the kids were young and have enjoyed it each time we read the stories. The illustrations are beautiful and the stories are simple but gets to the point. A must have in your home book collection.
