Beautiful artwork

Gorgeous artwork to go along with these wonder myths. I have always loved reading about the gods and their shenanigans, and this will be a lovely addition to anyone's library, especially those with young children. My favorite story of the bunch was that of Eros and Psyche, theirs has always been one of my favorite romances, and this was a wonder interpretation of the story. **E-ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

A good telling of the Greek Myths

This collection of tales from the Greek myths includes so many well known stories. These retelling will be enjoyed by the intended audience of children and also, I think, by adults. Inside this book are the stories of Zeus, the Titans, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Persephone, Prometheus, Midas and many more. There is also a final section called "About the Myths" which provides additional information. The author begins by putting the myths in context. They were used by the ancient Greeks to help in understanding their world and, because of this they were essential. Not only were the stories a part of the oral tradition, they also appeared in art, theaters and more, thus revealing their importance in daily life. The stories themselves are well told and accompanied by illustrations that enhance the text. The book looks engaging and encourages a reader to see what comes next. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review. I would like to purchase this book when it is published. It is a good and readable reference.
