About this product

Product Information

Gilgamesh, half-god and half-man, in his loneliness and isolation becomes a cruel tyrant over the citizens of Uruk. To impress them forever he orders a great wall to be built, driving his people to exhaustion and despair so that they cry to the Sun God for help. In answer, another kind of man, Enkidu, is sent to earth to live among the animals and learn kindness from them. He falls in love with Shamhat, a singer from the temple, and he follows her back to Uruk. There, Enkidu, the uncivilized beast from the forest, shows the evil Gilgamesh through friendship what it means to be human.

What incredible beautiful pictures !
Amazing pictures and an excellent retelling of this famous old story. You can look at the pictures for hours and the text is simple enough for a child to read with a little bit of help over the unusual names. We have now got all 3 books in the series and delighted with them. Will look out for more art work by Ludmila Zeman!
