Another Fun Greek Tale

I have really enjoyed these Greek tales by Benedict Flynn. Benjamin Soames does a great job with the narration too. They are relatively short but long enough to get the point across. This series was probably written for young adults but more mature readers will have fun with them too. Read The Tale of Troy first to get the necessary background for this one.

Fun Adventure

This children's version of Homer's tale is well written and sure to entertain. The narration is adequate wtih a few minor glitches.
