STORIES OF THE
ANCIENT GREEKS
By CHARLES D. SHAW
Illustrated by George A. Harker. 12mo. Cloth. 264 pages.
List price, 60 cents; mailing price, 70 cents
THIS collection of stories of the ancient Greeks is intended for supplementary reading, and may be used profitably as early as the third year. It includes many of the charming tales of the Greek mythology retold in a manner suitable for young people. The second part of the volume deals more particularly with Greek history. The familiar stories are given in chronological order. Sufficient attention is everywhere paid to the matter of guarding the reader against too implicit belief in tales which have been partially discredited by modern research. Yet it has been thought wise to keep in currency narratives which have so long added to the pleasure of the world, though they cannot be defended as actual history.
The style is simple, picturesque, and vivacious. The twenty-five full-page illustrations, from original decorative pen drawings by George A. Harker, are unusually attractive and help to explain the text. The special cream-tinted paper, the attractive binding, and artistic arrangement of type and illustrations give a pleasing and appropriate setting to the text.
