I don’t really know much about any of these books, except the time period (c. 1500-900 BC) and the place (Greece or among Greeks). If you’ve read any of them and have comments or if you have other suggestions of children’s or young adult historical fiction for this time period set in Greece, please leave me a note.
I’ll be reading as many of these as I can find, and I’ll let you know how I like them.
One thought on “Historical Fiction of Ancient Times Project: Greece”
I’ve read (and own) Inside the Walls of Troy: a Novel of The Women Who Lived The Trojan War. It’s been a couple of years since I read it, so I just looked it up on Amazon to make sure that’s the same one I’m thinking of (now boxed up in my garage), and I agree with the School Library Journal editorial there: It’s not a great book, but pretty good.
