YA
Citing classic translations of The Odyssey as sources, Hinds retells Homer's epic in pictures plus a judicious minimum of words, sticking to the original intricate, twenty-four-chapter order. Brief as the text of this graphic version is, it makes an accessible and effective complement to the dramatic pencil and watercolor art that explicates and interprets the story. A worthy companion to great predecessors.
