In Search of a Homeland
Illustrated by Ian Andrew
Over 2000 years after Virgil wrote his epic "The Aeneid", Penelope Lively retells Aeneas' story with pace, poignancy and drama.

- An outstanding version of one of the greatest stories of all time, which will captivate adults and children alike with its beautifully evocative artwork.
- Written by a top international, award winning author, acclaimed for both her adult novels and children's books.
