The Usborne Book of Greek Myths cover

A sumptuously illustrated treasury of Greek myths filled with lively retellings of stories of brave heroes, powerful gods and terrible monsters, presented in a luxury, cloth-covered hardback. With thirty-two popular and exciting stories including “Pandora’s Box”, “The minotaur and the Labyrinth”, “Jason and the Golden Fleece”. Illustrated notes in the margins offer further insights into the history of Greek myths. Includes an extensive reference section with illustrated maps of Ancient Greece, a glossary of tricky words, a huge Who’s Who of heroes, monsters, Gods and locations and an online pronunciation guide to Greek names.

A very accessible, well-written and extravagantly illustrated bargain of a hardback. Lots of information, including maps. One to keep forever. * The Big Issue *
There is nothing like inquisitive children for exposing gaping holes in one’s general knowledge. The recently published Usborne Book of Greek Myths has enough wars and monsters to keep my boys rapt while I make notes on the gods and goddesses. A good present for an eight-year-old. * Daily Telegraph Magazine *
