Review: Excellent retelling for children! - This is part 2 of 3 in a series telling the story of Gilgamesh. The series is a wonderful version for children. I think it is a little pricey but it is written in language a child can understand, tells the story in age appropriate detail, and the illustrations are absolutely wonderful. My child loves folklore stories and this is perfect - a great retelling with intriguing visuals! My purchase was for a new book. What I received was someone else's copy. It is in excellent condition, dust jacket and all, but has a small sticker inside the front cover with the previous owner's info (marked over with sharpie but still readable). If you're buying a new item, it would be nice to receive a new item. This and the price both considered, this book, to me, was well worth it and the wait for delivery.
Review: Nicely illustrated and simply told tale of humankind's oldest story - The kids loved this trilogy and appreciated the message of friendship that it presents. I had bought all 3 thinking I would spread the story out over weeks, but ended up having to read all 3 within 2 days. This was used for the homeschooling of our two 9 years olds as we read the history of the Ancient World. As one of the first (if not the very first) pieces of literature ever recorded, it is important to read from a historical and messaging perspective as well as to give a glimpse into the universality of many stories found in religions. I hesitated buying this for 4th graders thinking it might be too simple, but actually it is not. Highly recommended version of the Gilgamesh trilogy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would love more books like this
*by D***F on October 7, 2013*

The Revenge of Ishtar (2nd book in Zeman's Gilgamesh Trilogy) continues the tale of Gigamesh's adventures with Enkidu. This books and it's companions, Gilgamesh the King and The last Quest of Gilgamesh, are wonderful introductions for children to one of the oldest epics in the world. Zeman's retelling of Gilgamesh's adventures is engaging and kept my children wondering what was going to happen next as Gigamesh fought the monster Humbaba and Ishtar's great bull. I also love the art work of this picture book series which is modeled after Mesopotamian art, of the period in which this story was written down. This is so well done, I had to include it in my personal library. I wish there were more books like this that introduced literature and art from around the world to children.
