What to expect

The colorful characters from Greek mythology come alive in exciting adventures captured by the author of The House of the Seven Gables and The Scarlet Letter. Ride Pegasus, open Pandora’s Box, slay Medusa with her head of many snakes, join Hercules as he flexes his muscles and King Midas as he turns his daughter into gold. The stories, moral in tone, are totally riveting.
