Gilgamesh the Hero
by Geraldine McCaughrean A powerful and beautifully illustrated version of one of mankind's oldest known stories 95 pages, full color, hardback $20 |
Geraldine McCaughrean is a writer of magnificent children's stories. She has a real knack for taking adult stories (El Cid, the Canterbury Tales, Moby Dick, Pilgrim's Progress) and bringing them to life for children. Her brilliance is that she has the ability to make such stories accessible to children while never dumbing them down or losing the essence of the original story.
In this book she takes the ancient Sumerian story of the Epic of Gilgamesh and, with the aid of David Parkin's dramatic illustrations, weaves a compelling tale of love, friendship, death, immortality and the meaning of life.
All these themes are powerful stuff for 11 year-old children and within our 5th grade Ancient Mythology main lesson, McCaughrean helps provide a setting for many interesting discussions. (Christopherus Ancient Mythology bundle)
