Troy is third of a series of books written about Greek mythology. Okay, that’s not altogether true, I did have some idea of what to expect, which helpfully leads me onto my first point before moving onto the bulk of this review. So, when Troy landed on my doorstep, my first thought was, “I have no idea what to expect, let’s give it a go and see where it takes me”. I would however, consider myself to be a big fan of Mr Fry, he is number one on my dinner party guest wish list (it’s an open offer if you’re reading this, Stephen) and since around the age of 15 I have been an avid reader of all his books and continue to get excited upon hearing the announcement of a new publication. Come to think of it, if asked, I wouldn’t have even really been aware if some of the knowledge I did have was even connected to Greek mythology for that matter. Up until now, I wouldn’t have considered myself to have any significant knowledge or any interest in Greek mythology. ![]()
