(3) K-3 Illustrated by Li Ming. Yolen frames the myth of the flawed hero Bellerophon--who rides Pegasus and slays the Chimaera, but whose pride brings about his fall--as a cautionary tale told by a Corinthian beggar to a horse-crazy boy. Li Ming's dramatic oil paintings of large figures in classic poses suit this tale of grand adventure followed by hubris punished.
