Description:
As important as it is to aim high, ancient mythology reminds us that we must never confuse ourselves with the gods. Only disaster can come of showing too much skill at godly pursuits like creating-- or flying. But poor old Daedalus just can't get past his aspirations to fly. Jane Yolen's version of the story of Daedalus and his son, Icarus, is lyric and foreboding, and Dennis Nolan's shadowy renderings of the omnipresent deities are a particularly haunting accompaniment to this ancient tale of pride and tragedy. (Ages 6 to10)
