AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales'OBSERVER

'Stephen Fry has done it again. Well written and super storytelling' 5***** READER REVIEW
________

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Watch in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.
________


I love Greek Mythology and Stephen Fry is one of my favourite people. All through this book his voice was in my head. Brilliant retellings and underlying humour. Brilliant!

Book Rating
Impossible to read without envisioning Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who were perfectly cast in the roles of Jeeves and Wooster, respectively. PG Wodehouse's grasp of the English vocabularly is top-notch, as ever: his powers of description using only a few words are second to known and is equalled, in my opinion, only by Terry Pratchett.

Stephen Fry is so tedious. He thinks he is so clever and funny and so above the rest of the world. His screenplay and direction show that. The movie is based on Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies, though the dialogue and situations. The acting is mostly good, though the characters are not very likable. The standouts are Michael Sheen and Fenella Woolgar. They are both delightful.

"One of the better, funnier DVD menus I’ve ever seen—is it weird to recommend a DVD just for the menu? Plus, great commentary by Stephen Fry, plus background on the Colonel Blimp cartoon strip and creator, which shows you how miraculous this movie adaptation is. Imagine a big-screen version of Family Circus that manages to be a searing indictment of the American family. Wow!"
