1) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland : The Story of the Aeneid by Delacorte Press. 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 Delacorte Press. 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 Delacorte Press. A glorious gift book from an award-winning storyteller and a much lauded illustrator, who evoke the high drama of mythical Greece and the prehistory of Rome in this retelling of The Aeneid.
Taking his old father on his back and his young son by the hand, Aeneas flees the sacked city of Troy, entrusted by his goddess-mother, Venus, with a daunting mission: Find a new homeland for his people. It is an arduous journey. At every turn, unimaginable dangers await him: terrible monsters and giants; supernatural hazards sent by the enraged goddess Juno; and worst of all, an eerie, death-defying descent into the Underworld, where he will be allowed a glimpse of his Roman descendants’ glorious future.¤ 4) Hardcover Book In Search of a Homeland : The Story of the Aeneid by Delacorte Press. 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.
