Customer Reviews

A Classic in "User-Friendly" Language

I found this book to be a faithful rendition of the Aeneid in language which was readily understood and enjoyed by young readers of today. It really brought to life the classic story of Aeneas' journey. I was thoroughly pleased with this engaging version of a classical epic, and would not hesitate to use it with my students.
