Troy by Stephen Fry

by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews May 12, 2021

NOW OUT:

Stephen Fry has done many things, of which talented author is just one. This is the third in his erudite, witty and well-illustrated books about ancient Greece. His earlier titles, Mythos and Heroes were wonderful (re)tellings of stories, some of which I knew and some of which were new to me. Now Fry has turned his attention to tales of Troy. Yes, readers may think that they already know these stories but I can safely say that they may not and that time with this title is time well spent. I truly enjoyed it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Have you read Ariadne? It was excellent and I think that you would like it. That is a novel.

  Ha ha, another one that’s languishing in my unread stack!!! Ariadne was bought for me as a present for finishing my course and it looks right up my street so I can’t wait to get stuck into it. Thank you for the recommendation and I’m so glad you think I’ll enjoy it! 📚❤️ X x x
