Reviews
"For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book . . . the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation." —The Horn Book“The drawings . . . are excellent and excitingly evocative.” —The New York Times
"I still don’t know what made me fall so hard as a child for this collection . . . Regardless, the book is my first-line recommendation for even very young children for its age-appropriate abridgment and future madeleine de Proust illustrations." —"Katherine Marsh’s Favorite Greek Mythology Books for Young Readers", The New York Times
