“I would suppose I learned how to write when I was very young indeed. When I read a child's book about the Trojan War and decided that the Greeks were really a bunch of frauds with their tricky horses and the terrible things they did, stealing one another's wives, and so on, so at that very early age, I re-wrote the ending of the Iliad so that the Trojans won.

Never of very high merit, but the daringness of it was.” WritingBelieveChildrenBookWarAgeWantedYoungBoysWifeTerribleDecidedHorseExtraordinaryStealingBunchGreekMeritFraudBelieve In MeTerrible ThingsTrickyIntervalsChildren's BooksAchillesIliadTrojansAjaxTrojan War Author:James A.
