The Tale of Troy

I loved this bookIt tells the complete story of all events related to troy in a comprehensive, simple anActs as a good intro and entry point into the illiad and odyssey by homer and other related texts

The Book is excellent.I would have however preferred if the cover of the book was as colourful as in the above display. That was a bit of a turnoff.

I may give it 5 star if the price would across 300/-. Anyway the book is good, quality of the product was also good. Bought it for 328/-

Hi!I ordered this book for my son but requested him to let me read first. Enjoying completely. My kiddo will love it.

Again became fan of Roger Green. And fallen in love with Greek mythology. I suggest you to buy it with Tales of the Greek Heroes (Puffin Classics)

✨The book is great as a time-killer but not as a knowledge chest.🎃Even though the story is good the story telling is not that much graceful.♣This book consists of many small-small stories ( very glad ) but said them in such a way that the "end is at the beginning", like in the initial chapters the war has started .... This was ignited at the very beginning at that grand event.♠Up to some extent we would feel it nice but reaching at the middle there had already been like a fifty small stories interlinked but only follows the same pattern over and over again.♦Feels like a huge drag and kills the pleasure to know the climax(as it is already passed ).♥But the main branch doesn't follow this pattern hence rating 3/5.It is the connecting links that failed this book.

Excellent!!!

Nice book.good overview of Greek myth. But you my find it hard to remember the names of so many characters mentioned in the book.

ما قرائتيها جلت قصه اخري بالغلط

The Iliad and Odyssey were written around 2,700 years ago. At that time they were not written down but memorized! With the Iliad having over 15,000 lines and the Odyssey over 12,000 there are not many of us, yes even us adults, who would want to read all that let alone memorize it!This rendition by Roger which includes both stories from the Iliad and Odyssey was originally penned by him in 1958. It is brilliant! I read this aloud to our children as we have been studying Ancient Greece these past two weeks so felt this would be a good book to include in our study and I am SO glad we did. They loved it and I learned a lot also so we are all a little more educated now!There are a few sketches/drawings scattered throughout the book but I am not sure what they really added. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This book was read to me and my friends some 50 years ago at school. It has stayed with me ever since and it has been a pleasure to read it on my Kindle over the last week. It certainly encourages one to read more widely about Ancient Greek history and mythology.Next King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table.

This is a great resource for teachers who want to assist students at the secondary level who are functioning well below grade. Reading is such an unrewarding experience for them because the reading choices in grade nine feed into curriculum rather than meeting their needs. These students require a reader that helps to elevate them from grade the grade three-four level to grade six or seven. This book is well written and tells a compelling story. It combines Homer and others into one compelling tale. The story is interesting and accessible for those students that struggle and are below grade level. Well done.

Every boy (and quite a few girls) should read this! First read this when I was in junior school in the early 70s and still read it now. What an introduction to the very roots of European culture! Read this and you will realise how tawdry the film 'Troy' is in comparison.It is in my personal pantheon of have-to-read-books along with Kingsley's 'Heroes of Asgard'and 'The Heroes', Green's 'Robin Hood', Haggard's 'King Solomon's Mines' and Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'.
