The Hero Schliemann: The Dreamer Who Dug for Troy

76 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2283-4 $17.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Byrd. This irreverent biography of the nineteenth-century German who rediscovered ancient Troy attempts to disentangle fact from Schliemann's autobiographical fiction. Cartoonlike illustrations add to the appeal of the gently humorous text, though some readers may struggle with the complex sentences and unfamiliar vocabulary. Engagingly told and well documented, this will be particularly welcome where students already have some familiarity with ancient history.
