My 14 year old daughter needed research on myths and legends; thus this book's title was obvious. As per her review, it was interesting, easy to read and informative. She was able to get all of the information she needed from the book and enjoyed reading it as well. She would definitely recommend it to her peers.
An excellent collection of classic stories for 9-14
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A lot of classical myths are hard to read and stiff in their telling. These versions are told in modern prose with a sense of humour, without losing the spirit of the original tales. Some schools in New Zealand use this as one of their English texts at about 9th grade level, and it is very popular with kids and teachers. It's a well-thumbed book on our home bookshelf, returned to again and again. Recommended.
