With outstanding cover artwork by the highly acclaimed illustrator Alan Lee, Rosemary Sutcliff's Black Ships Before Troy is now available in an exciting new format. Homer's epic poem The Iliad is brought to life with all the skill of a master storyteller. Alan Lee's dramatic cover image hauntingly recreates the age of heroes in this spellbinding introduction to the Greek classics — a book that should become part of every childhood.

Rosemary Sutcliff (1920–1992) was a matchless writer of historical fiction. She died in 1992 at the age of 71. Alan Lee won the Kate Greenaway Medal for his illustrations in Rosemary Sutcliff's Black Ships Before Troy, and in 1998 he won the Best Artist Award at the World Fantasy Awards. He illustrated the Centenary editions of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and, more recently, The Children of Húrin. He went on to transform his vision of Middle Earth from page to celluloid in Peter Jackson's film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, winning an Oscar in 2004 as part of the art direction team on The Return of the King, and was a conceptual designer on The Hobbit. He lives in South Devon, U.K.
