*Book source ~ Home library
Author ~ Anne Terry White
Publisher ~ Golden Books
Published ~ 28 June 1960
Genre ~ Mythology
Pages ~ 164
My Rating ~ 2 bites
From Goodreads:
Wonderful
late-50s illustrations and classic stories such as Heracles, Beowulf, Tristram
& Iseult, and Sigurd of the Volsungs.
For the most part I enjoyed the stories in this
collection, but the writing is simplistic which I guess makes sense since
Golden Books are known for their children’s books. Some of the stories I’d
heard before though it’s been quite awhile, so the refresher was nice. The rest
I’d never heard and found interesting, but not enthralling. Always nice to learn new legends though. I was
not at all impressed with the artwork. It’s weird looking and the colors are
very blah. It’s just not my thing.
