Customer Reviews

Good for introducing young children to mythology

I do have to agree that the myths and stories told in this book have been sterilized, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for young children. I purchased this book for my young son. The illustrations are very nice and the stories, though condensed quite a bit, stay pretty true to the history.
