Good book

Among the Hades/Persephone books I've seen out there (for kids) this is one of the better ones. It's more complete - it has the the part of the myth with Demeter and Metaenira, unlike so many other books - and I really enjoy the watercolor illustration. I've seen this artist in several other books I read when I was little, and always liked Richardson's work. It's a old book, but it's still a great one and worthy for any mythology/book collection.
