Across the millennia, the Greek myths have lost none of their ability to captivate readers 9 and up, and here Newbery Medal winner Cynthia Rylant breathes fresh life into the tales of Pandora, Persephone, Orpheus, Pygmalion, Narcissus, and Psyche. Written in a lyrical and understated style, these stories of love, loss, and forgiveness are paired with Carson Ellis's elegant black-and-white illustrations, which lend an aura of beauty and mystery.
