Charles Kingsley
Hardcover
(Henry Altemus, March 15, 1895)
Stories of the heroes of ancient Greece, including accounts of Perseus, who slew Medusa the Gorgon; Jason who sought the Golden Fleece; and Theseus who slew the Minotaur. By preserving the Greek spirit in the retelling of these myths, Kingsley gives us plain strength and seriousness, courage, steadfastness, and beauty. The author had a great fondness for Greek fairy tales and believed the adventures of the characters would inspire children to achieve higher goals with integrity.
