THE HEROES, OR GREEK FAIRY TALES (MISSON AUDIO) BY CHARLES KINGSLEY, 'READ BY ROBIN FIELD,
This review is from: The Heroes: Greek Fairytales for My Children (Audio CD)
Actor Robin Field reads mythological tales from the classic book by 'Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), subtitled Greek Fairy Tales for My 'Children, published in 1856. Three heroes of Greek mythology -- 'Perseus, Jason and Theseus -- perform impossible feats in these 'stories. According to Edric Vredenburg in an introduction to the book: ' "What with the number of his poems and novels, his historical and 'scientific works and his children's tales, it is indeed remarkable that 'this versatile and energetic man had time for anything else. 'Nevertheless these writings were but a part of a life devoted to his 'fellow creatures. He was a curate in 1842, and 1873 found him a Canon 'of Westminster and Chaplain to Queen Victoria." Among his 28 volumes 'is the children's classic Water Babies, published in 1863. NOTE: Due 'to the advanced vocabulary and dramatic content of these stories, they 'are not recommended for the very young. The reading is over five hours 'long on five Audio CDs. Very handsome, sturdy packaging.
