Come and explore (or re-explore) the world's classic fairy tales, legends, and myths in this all-new series that adapts the way these myths are told, while keeping all their enduring, classic elements!
Most kids love myths. With the explosion in popularity of books like the Harry Potter or the Percy Jackson series, many kids are dying to know the "real" myths behind the allusions in their contemporary literature. But how many of us adults actually remember all the details of the myths that form (and inform) our collective unconscious?
The "Bedtime Myths For Children of All Ages" series means to serve as an aide-memoire for those of us adults who remember bits and pieces of familiar myths and as an introduction, perhaps, to myths from other cultures, beyond the standard Greek myths that serve as a foundation of Western literature. The first volume in this series, "Solar Stories," begins, like the journey our Sun makes each day, in the East, with an adaptation of a Chinese myth, and ends in the West, with a lively re-telling of a Roman myth featuring Helios, the Sun God.
Whether you read this alone or to the children in your life, you are bound to enjoy a modern narrative voice that keeps all the traditional elements you loved (or missed!) as a kid.
