A delightful collection of old Greek myths and legends. Kingsley's first book for children, it discusses various aspects of natural history along with the myths. Captivating!

Xenophon wrote several books most of which survived. The narrative is about military advance, or journey. And what a journey this was for 10,000 Greek mercenaries, through hostile territory, ultimately retreating back to Greece. Xenophon's informal and realistic style of writing makes this exciting real-life adventure story intensely interesting and captivating. Highly Recommended!
