**Finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards and honourable mention at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards**
Odysseus is the third book in the Early Myths collection, a series of children's picture books on Greek myth. Each book covers a character from mythology and brings the tale to life through illustrations and story-telling, with inspiration from ancient art and literature. The books are aimed at 4 to 10 year olds, are beautifully designed and easy to read.
Our picture book of Odysseus tells one of the greatest stories from Greek mythology. Our hero sails away to take part in a great Trojan War, but his success at the battle is followed by a wandering return as he comes across monsters, nymphs, gods and heroes. Learn about his adventures and his wish to rejoin his beloved family.
For teachers and parents, we have a notes section at the back, describing how our illustrations have been inspired by ancient Greek vase-painting, sculptures, and early literature. The kids don’t need to know this aspect to enjoy the tale, but the grown-ups can learn about how we have taken time and care to construct our book, using the early historical sources, rather than simply repeat a generic version of the myth.

Readers’ Comments
‘My class very much enjoyed this picture book of Greek myths. The drawings are excellent and there’s plenty of story for the kids to enjoy and speculate on. It works as an excellent springboard for discussions on myths and legends which the children will be looking at later on in Year 4.’ Primary school teacher, aged 45
‘I loved this book the best this week. I liked the monsters. It was fun to draw them and colour them in. The story was good too.’ Boy, aged 7
‘Greek mythology is an important subject at primary school so I was happy to introduce it to my young children (5 and 7) with this picture book for the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. They liked it very much. The illustrations grabbed them and the story led to a lively discussion on whether monsters exist! Thankfully, it is not too long so we were able to finish it in one bedtime reading. I would recommend it to any parents of young children.’ Parent of Two.
‘I liked the ending. I like happy endings.’ Girl, aged 5
‘Fascinating and richly illustrated. A FINALIST and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
