In clear, steady prose, Curlee discusses how the list of the seven "ancient wonders" originated, then devotes four pages each to the Great Pyramid, the Hanging Gardens, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus, the Mausoleum, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pharos. The stylized acrylic illustrations, though careful, are static; a composite at the end shows the marvels in scale with modern structures.
