Summary: As enchanting as ever
Review: I'm 30 now, and my nephew is 10. He left his D'Aulaires' book on my couch on a recent visit with the family, and I sat down and read it from cover to cover, much as I used to when I was 10. It was like finding an old friend, the ancient stories, the glorious illustrations that used to haunt me like dreams, the world it evoked. What a wonderful, wonderful piece of childhood to suddenly stumble on. The next time on Amazon, I ordered a copy, and now it sits next to my well worn copy of Lytton' Strachey's biography of Queen Victoria. I figure legends belong together.

Summary: Informative entertainment to last a lifetime
Review: I read this book in 5th grade, almost 30 years ago. It was my first exposure to mythology of any sort and had a profound impact upon me. I've read several books on various mythologies since and all are pale contenders compared to this triumph of written and graphical art.

Summary: An absolute favorite!
Review: I discovered this book at about the age of 10 (I'm much older now!). I must have checked this book out of the library 100 times. I'm glad to know it's still in print so that my son can read it when his interest in Greek mythology develops. Really, it is a fabulous book.

Summary: *Couldn't Put It Down!!!!*
Review: There are, to me, not enough known superlatives to attest to this work!!!! This was my first, and is still my favorite, work on all of Greek Mythology. I came to amazon.com hoping to get a new copy of the book, as I was heartbroken on the loss of the first amidst the shuffle. I miss the book terribly and always have THOROUGHLY enjoyed it.Read On, ~V~Aquila~V~
