The Tale of Troy

"There have been so many retellings of the Trojan War, and it’s no surprise that Stephen Fry’s own interest stretches back to his childhood and the wonderful The Tale of Troy by Roger Lancelyn Green, first published in 1958. He writes, “Finally, Roger Lancelyn Green was one of the writers who woke me to the pleasures of Greek myths when I was young. His coverage of every aspect of the Trojan war is brisk and a little sanitised for children, but well researched and highly readable.” A big thank you to Jo Crocker for organising this list of Trojan War books."
