Roman Myths

96 pp. | McElderry | June, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83822-0 $$21.00
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. These fifteen myths move from Aeneas, Rome's founding by Romulus and Remus, and the "theft" of the Sabine women to the legendary role of Juno's geese during the sack of Rome. The watercolor and pencil art is elegantly composed yet as cheerfully informal as the text. McCaughrean offers notes setting the myths in their historical context. An entertaining new take on the old myths.
