"The Iliad And The Odyssey" Adapted From The Homer Classics By Jane Werner Watson, Pictures By Alice And Martin Provensen (Published by Paul Hamlyn, London 1965) Part 3

Powerful pictures by Alice and Martin Provensen illustrating Homer's epic stories full of action, drama and violence. The famous American couple worked together since the 1940's producing dozens of children's books. I featured another one of their books earlier this year - the link here
