About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy by Padraic Colum. Read by Elizabeth Klett. Also known as "The Children's Homer," this is Irish writer Padraic Colum's retelling of the events of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for young people.
