Lugalbanda

An ancient story and still a good one, quite well told and BEAUTIFULLY illustrated. I picked it up off the floor at work and immediately was enchanted by the cover. Inside, the pictures were even better. And the words did not disappoint. The language is sometimes quite beautiful. “And near this tree on the rocks on the ground was the nest of the terrible Anzu bird.” That sentence is even better in situ at the end of its glorious paragraph.
