Aeneas: Virgil's Epic Retold for Younger Readers

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 the excitement and adventure, magic and romance, humor and sadness. Emily Frenkel's retelling is fresh and direct.
