[Brian Koser]

Picked to read with the girls because I'm about to read The Aeneid.

[Bill Stutzman · Rating 4 out of 5]

As in similar renditions of Homer to novels, this adaptation of Virgil does a fine job for what it is. As a way of teaching younger readers the story, this is a faithful introduction.
