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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwards for our Early Myths collection: \u003cbr\u003e- Perseus: bronze medal winner at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2014\u003cbr\u003e- Odysseus: honourable mention at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards 2015\u003cbr\u003e- Odysseus: finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2015\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: silver medal at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: honourable mention at Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: finalist at the Readers' Favorite Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: 1st prize for illustrations and 6+ picture book at the Dragonfly Books Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: gold award at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: silver medalist in the Wishing Shelf Children's Books Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: best illustrations at Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: honourable Mention in Picture Books (5 and younger category) at the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: silver medalist at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colm Lawton, Simon Spence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1523287683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781523287680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.11d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colm Lawton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985462657279,"sku":"9781523287680","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7500e800-630c-4e4d-910c-13177728fa3a.jpg?v=1683277716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/odysseus-colm-lawton-9781523287680","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
