The Wanderings of Odysseus by Rosemary Sutcliff

The Wanderings of Odysseus by Rosemary Sutcliff

A sequel to "Black Ships Before Troy", this retelling of "The Odyssey" transforms Homer's complex epic poem into a traveller's tale with a cast of men, magicians and monsters: the flesh-eating Cyclops, the deadly enchantment of Circe and Odysseus's battle to regain his wife and long-lost kingdom.

Rosemary Sutcliff was born in 1920 in West Clanden, Surrey. With over 40 books to her credit, she is nowuniversally considered one of the finest writers of historical novels for children. Her first novel, The Queen Elizabeth Story, was published in 1950. In 1972 her book Tristan and Iseult was runner-up for the Carnegie Medal. In 1974 she was highly commended for the Hans Christian Andersen Award and in 1978 her book, Song for a Dark Queen, was commended for the Other Award. Rosemary lived for a long time in Arundel, Sussex with her dogs and in 1975, she was awarded the OBE for services to Children's Literature. Unfortunately Rosemary passed away in July 1992 and will be much missed by her many fans.
