Review
I really enjoyed this little book and I thought the translation flowed well. This little book contains lots of well known myths and legends that are a joy to read.
I had a teacher at school who loved the Fall of Icarus and told it to us often and reading it brought back a lot of fond memories.
The myths flowed well from one to the other and were easy to read.
I loved this book and I found it a wonderful glimpse into Ovid’s Metamorphoses. I have given this book 5 out 5 Dragons.
