Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

These graphic-novel abridgements vary from modest but adequate storytelling (in shorter tales like Wilde's) to merely illustrated plot summaries for more complex works (Melville's and Homer's). All the tales are told in short sentences featuring modern English. Stylized illustrations can make characters hard to distinguish when the narration is already so reduced. Each volume includes brief background material, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos.

After ten years of siege by Greek forces, the walls of Troy remain intact. Only the intervention of the greatest warrior of all time, Achilles, can tilt the balance in favor of the invaders. On the Trojan side, Prince Hector is the only one who can face him. This is the story of the greatest war of all time. The war that brought all the heroes of ancient Greece together and turned them into immortal legends. It is the war that made the gods of Olympus face each other, due to their envy and vanity. This is the Trojan War.
