''Black Ships Before Troy: The story of the Iliad'' is a novel for children written by Rosemary Sutcliff, illustrated by Alan Lee, and published (posthumously) by Frances Lincoln in 1993. Partly based on the ''Iliad'', the book retells the story of the Trojan War, beginning with the birth of Paris to the building of the Trojan Horse. For his part Lee won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject.〔 ((Greenaway Winner 1993) ).

Sutcliff's prose is praised also in ''Books to Build On'', a collection of teaching resources edited by E. D. Hirsch, Jr.. A Common Core handbook suggests it for grades 6-8. Delacorte Press reprinted ''Black Ships'' in the US within the calendar year (October 1993; ISBN 978-0-385-31069-7).〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Ships Before Troy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
