Guardian Bookshop Notes:

In this gripping new adaptation, originally commissioned for BBC Radio, Simon Armitage has recast "The Odyssey" as a series of dramatized conversations quickening Homer's classic account with all the characteristic guile and wit that we have come to expect from one of the most talented writers of his generation.

Publisher's description:

Originally commissioned for BBC Radio, this is an adaptation of Homer's epic. This title presents "Odyssey" as a series of dramatic dialogues: between gods and men; between no-nonsense Captain Odysseus and his unruly, lotus-eating, homesick companions; between subtle Odysseus and a range of shape-shifting adversaries.
