Editorial reviews

Hamilton Wright Mabie adapted these much-loved stories from ancient mythology and recreated them for children in a way that feels as though they're being shared by a wise old grandparent. Narrator Suehyla El-Attar enhances the traditional storytelling experience with her performance, using her rich, mature voice in a subtly conversational way. Children will love the sense of wonder she brings, and it feels as though she is speaking directly to the audience as her voice rises and falls with the adventures of mythological figures such as Hercules, Proserpina, Odin, and many others.

Narrator has a great, soothing voice; perfect for bed time stories. However, she really needed to look up some of the pronunciations. The ones in the Norse stories are particularly painful to listen to.

Look up the pronunciations

I understand that many who read books think that doing voices makes it more interesting however, the way they are done in this one is way over the top. normal I could just be on my merry way and forget that but then they go and alter the stories so badly that i was over halfway through them before I realized what story/myth they were actually telling. for example Pluto is a god and was demoted to king but Pluto had no intentions of returning her. she was forced to then spend half the year in the underworld because she ate the pomegranate. the story of callithyia wasn't about a child but a women who found her self in the cross hairs of hera after attracting the attention of Zeus. not about a child kidnapped by a white bull. I get you don't want the "horrors" of these stories to touch young children but to change them so much like this destroys the original message.

some stories shouldn't be altered
