Illustrated by
Ian Andrew.
Illustrated with sketchy colored-pencil drawings on every page (and ending with a map and pronunciation guide), Lively's prose retelling of Virgil's Aeneid is faithful and straightforward, although its origins in poetry have been obscured, and its steady progress makes little allowance for modern ideas of pacing. Aeneas's adventures founding Rome will hold attraction for the right reader. Bib.
