A graphic novel version of the classic story, full of the myths, gods and even actual historical events of the ancient Greeks. Well worthwhile. Not too short and not too long. I’m very glad I read it - even if I wasn’t a child but an adult in my 50’s.

This was used as an assigned reading in my daughter's 5th grade class (2008-09 school year). She loved it.

It's been some time since I've read this, but I remember being mesmerized by the world created within. The style may be difficult for one not used to reading older styles of English. One can imagine sitting by the fireside and having these stories told aloud. Knights, dragons, faeries and enchantments abound in this book.
