This review is from: Myths Every Child Should Know (Hardcover)

this book has ten chapters of different myths:the chimaera,the golden touch,the gorgon's head,the miraculous pitcher,the paradise of children,the cyclops,
the argonauts,how odin lost his eye,the quest of the hammer and the death of
balder. i liked all of the stories. my favorite is,"the golden touch" which is
the story of king midas. king midas has everything but,he wants MORE!!! he wants
everything he touches to turn to gold-and it does!!!... be careful what you wish
for.
this book is illustrated with fanciful line drawings by colleen browning. this
book is for children AND adults. this is a nice,easy book to read and enjoy.
