This beautiful book taught me Greek Mythology and also the concept that there was more than one way to approach the past. I should let another kid have it but it reminds me of my childhood. ( )

This book will highly engage any reader! It is full of the fascinating myths of the Gods and Goddesses, mythological creatures, and heroes of ancient Greece! Beautiful illustrations complement the magical tales.
