(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Malone. These two mother-daughter myth cycles from ancient Greece--the paired stories of Leto and her daughter Artemis, and Demeter and her daughter Persephone--are skillfully retold and engagingly paced. Black-and-white line drawings illustrate the action. However, the hook of focusing on the mother-daughter bond will likely be more appealing to doting mothers than to their independent daughters. Bib., glos.
