Argos: The Story of Odysseus as Told by His Loyal Dog

386 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-239678-5 $16.99
(3) 4-6 This retelling of The Odyssey is primarily narrated by Odysseus's dog, Argos. The focus switches between Argos's experiences at home on Ithaka and what Odysseus is experiencing on his journey as relayed by the various animals who witness it. That the manner of retelling reflects the behavioral traits of the creatures in question adds a unique and enjoyable twist.
