Book Details / Review - supplied by Amazon UK

This excellent collection of 16 favourite Greek myths catches all the magic of the stories for today's readers with its lively retellings and appealing illustrations. Included in this collection are the adventures of Jason, Theseus and Odysseus, the story of Icarus who flew too close to the sun, and King Midas whose touch turns everything to gold. In addition, there are also lesser-known stories such as Atalanta-- the goddess who can run faster than any man--and Arachne the spinner who boasts too much and is turned into a spider.

These stories have been wonderfully adapted by talented storyteller Geraldine McCaughrean who has captured all the thrills and drama of the original tales. Gloriously illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark this is a super collection of stories and a superb gift to give, read and enjoy.

Brilliant Way to Learn, and Retain, Mythical Knowledge! - Rated 5/5
This book is one of the best we have seen to cover the subject of Greek Myths. 16 myths catch all the magic of the stories for today's readers. It includes all the well-known favourites but some less well-known, too. When an eight year old is able to recall the contents of 'Pandora's Box', with ease, you know that an author has captured her readers! 'Hope' prevails!
Charming full colour illustrations make this a book hard to put down. A definite must for the book-shelf, and if the budget can stretch to it, the audio-book really enforces the facts!
Both are on at a great price, at Amazon.
Highly recommended!


Suberb retelling of Greek myths with beautiful illustrations - Rated 5/5
This book is the best collection of Greek myths for children I have ever read. The stories are told in a clear and simple way, yet also fully manage to convey their depth. I am a teacher of eleven year olds and on Friday mornings I read these tales for the children: they love them. McCaughrean does not shirk form occasionally shocking her readers with something challenging. The pictures are excellent and manage to convey just the right sense of magic and adventure. My own favourite among the stories is the epic tale of Perseus. It is told and illustrated with great verve and style. Anyone who wishes to share their love of mythology with children or who wishes to learn about them themselves should buy this book.
