Newbery Medal-winner Cynthia Rylant retells her favorite stories from
Greek mythology, breathing fresh life into the tales of Pandora,
Persephone, Orpheus, Pygmalion, Narcissus, and Psyche. The writing is
lyrical and understated, a perfect tone for stories that introduce young
readers to themes of love and loss, pride and forgiveness. Carson
Ellis's elegant black-and-white illustrations lend an aura of beauty and
mystery.
