D'AULAIRES' BOOK OF GREEK MYTHS

Delacorte Press, 2003. 1st Paperback Edition 41st Printing. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket Issued. Ingri & Edgar d'Aulaire. CONDITION: I have listed this "As New" even though it is UNREAD due to tiny (really) edge wear top spine and a couple of almost invisible impressions to the front cover. The interior is clean and tight. This appears to be the 2003 first paperback edition from Delacorte, 41st printing. There is a newer printing of this book with additions of a new afterword including some d"Aulaire illustrations not published before. CONTENT: This is an NPR 100 Must-Reads for Kids 9-14 selection. In print for over fifty years, D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths has introduced generations to Greek mythology-and continues to enthrall young readers. Here are the greats of ancient Greece-gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters-as freshly described in words and pictures as if they were alive today. No other volume of Greek mythology has inspired as many young readers as this timeless classic. Both adults and children alike will find this book a treasure for years to come. "For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book . . . the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation." "The drawings . . . are excellent and excitingly evocative."
