A large format gives the epic story of the ancient Greek hero Jason plenty of room. Each double-page spread tells a discrete section of the story; imposing, energetic illustrations capture fearsome monsters, the great ship Argo, and characters both mortal and immortal. The complexity and richness of both tale and pictures offer lots to pore over and ponder. An author's note is appended. Bib.
