1) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid by Frances Lincoln Children´s Books. I read this book for school. It was really good! Fairly easy to read, very simple, but interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who likes ancient Romans,Greeks,or Greek myths. 5-star!!!¤ 2) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid by Frances Lincoln Children´s Books. Ian Andrew illustrates In Search Of A Homeland, a story of the Aneid and a tale of war which will appeal to any student of Greek mythology and history. Chapters present the story with plenty of illustration and color: it´s hard to peg the readers and age group of this title, which will reach from grades 5-8.¤ 3) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid by Frances Lincoln Children´s Books. The fall of Troy, the wanderings of Aeneas, the descent into the underworld — these phrases from Virgil’s seminal story continue to resonate more than 2,000 years after he wrote it, and Penelope Lively retells this timeless tale with pitch-perfect pacing, poignancy, and drama. The story begins with Aeneas escaping from the sacked city of Troy with his son and father and an important task given by his mother, Venus: He must find a new home for his people. Readers accompany him on his adventure and danger awaits him around every corner. He battles monsters and giants, the elements, and makes a terrifying descent into the underworld where he is allowed a glimpse into the future. Ian Andrew’s illustrations evocatively interpret the mortals, gods and goddesses, and the epic backdrops of this classic tale. This accessible and enthralling introduction to The Aeneid takes its place alongside Rosemary Sutcliff’s classic retellings of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Included are a Latin pronunciation guide and a map of Aeneas’s extraordinary quest. ¤4) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland: The Story of the Aeneid by Frances Lincoln Children´s Books. Inspired by the ancient masterpiece The Aeneid, by Roman poet Virgil, modern-day author Penelope Lively has penned a poignant retelling of the arduous journeys of Trojan warrior Aeneas. Doubtful young readers will be amazed at how readable and downright gripping these old tales really are, from the devastating ruse the Greeks wreak on the city of Troy, to the tempestuous seas the escaping Trojans cross and recross, to the violent battles they fight, all in the name of finding their true homeland. Illustrator Ian Andrew´s evocative, scratchy illustrations set the stage for award-winning author Penelope Lively´s text, which captures all the terrible excitement and bittersweet emotions of these ancient travails and mythical encounters with supernatural beasts. Moved by this retelling, readers will surely want to seek out other epic classics, perhaps Rosemary Sutcliff´s masterful retellings of Homer´s Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the Iliad and The Wanderings of Odysseus: The Story of the Odyssey.
