The Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer, adapted by Jane Werner Watson with illustrations by Alice and Martin Provensen, was published by Paul Hamlyn in 1956 as part of the Golden Library of Knowledge series. This handsome edition retells Homer's two great epics in a clear and accessible style, making the legendary tales of gods, heroes, and battles approachable for younger readers while retaining the grandeur of the originals. The Provensens' evocative artwork enhances the text with richly coloured scenes that bring ancient Greece to life. A charming mid-twentieth-century adaptation, it remains a collectible piece for lovers of illustrated classics and timeless mythology.
