Product Overview
From Follett
Adaptation of: Aeneis / Virgil. A retelling of Virgil's epic poem in which the Trojan hero Aeneas wanders over land and sea after the destruction of his beloved Troy, eventually fulfilling the prophecy that he would lead his people to a new land and found an empire.
From the Publisher

Two thousand years ago the Roman poet Virgil related the adventures of a hero called Aeneas. He was a man who escaped from the burning ruins of Troy and, 'driven by Fate', led his people to a new home in a distant land.

The story of Aeneas and the founding of Rome has excitement and adventure, magic and romance, humour and sadness. Emily Frenkel's retelling is fresh and direct. Simon Weller's illustrations are fabulous.

Enter the ancient world of Aeneas. You will never want to leave.
