FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Osborne, Mary Pope

The Final Battle

(3) 4-6 Tales from the Odyssey series. Illustrated by Troy Howell. Using elementary language and an open design with short chapters and a minimum of text on each page, Osborne retells the final books of the Odyssey, Odysseus's homecoming and battle against the suitors. Although the story has been simplified, Osborne retains much of the language and all the emotional immediacy. A softly sketched map and portraits of the gods decorate the endpapers.
