They were not well received by critics; one described them as "MGM-style drawings, which substituted for drama a soft coyness and prurience." The God Beneath the Sea The God Beneath the Sea is a children's novel based on Greek mythology, written by Leon Garfield and Edward Blishen, illustrated by Charles Keeping, and published by Longman in 1970. It was awarded the annual Carnegie Medal (Garfield & Blishen)
