4-6Legends series.
Illustrated by
Thomas Yeates.
Stories from Horowitz's previously published Kingfisher Book of Myths and Legends are presented in these two volumes, modestly re-edited and with new illustrations. Under Horowitz's hand, the tales from around the world have a casual tone, accessible language, dry humor, and just enough gore to keep reluctant readers going. Black-and-white illustrations add some excitement and visual interest. Review covers these Legends titles: Battles and Quests and Beasts and Monsters.
