A masterful re-telling of Homer?s classic tales, The Children?s Homer by Padraic Colum is truly enjoyable for younger and not so younger audiences alike. Colum is a fantastic story teller. The two epic poems (The Iliad and The Odyssey) are seamlessly woven together. The story begins as does the Odyssey with Telemachus going in search of his renowned father, Odysseus. Telemachus seeks news from Nestor, and then from Menaleus. Menaleus and Helen, to entertain their guest, tell him the story of Troy. The story then carries on with the tale of the adventures and return of the wanderer Odysseus. This book is a great introduction to these age-old stories for those too young to read the actual works of Homer. It is full of the names and legends that have captured the imaginations of readers and thrilled listeners for thousands of years. The Children?s Homer has been brilliantly illustrated by Willy Pogany. His simple yet penetrating drawings bring the book to life and enkindle the imagination of the reader.
