Description

“I doubt I would have grown up to be the creator and artist I became had I not fallen in love with D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths on the age of seven.”—R. J. Palacio, creator of Wonder.

Now up to date with a new cover and an afterword featuring never-before-published drawings from the sketchbook of Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire, plus an essay about their life and work and photos from the circle of relatives achive.

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 these days. 

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 future years. 

“For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book . . . the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain ceaselessly matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty commentary.”—The Horn Book

“The drawings . . . are excellent and excitingly evocative.”—The New York Times
