Critics Review
There are brightly collaged monsters aplenty in Jan Pienkowski and David Walser’s condensed, powerful retelling of The Odyssey. Featuring a cocky Odysseus, colossal cut-paper gods and strong episodic storytelling, with each new adventure headed by a teasing couplet, it is bold and intensely satisfying for children and adults alike. * The Guardian *
