This is a book I first bought when I was in grade school in the 60s, and I've always loved it. The stories are accurate, yet amusingly written and accessible, so they're vivid and easy to remember. I've kept and even reread my copy all these years, but misplaced it recently, so I'm back to buy a new copy for my sons, 7 and 10. My older son is reading "The Lightning Thief," by Rick Riordan (another book I'd recommend!) which refer to these stories often, so I think he'll enjoy it.
