The Mythology Handbook

Description

Hot on the heels of Mythology, the recent title in the best-selling "Ology" series, comes this full course in mythology from the pen of Lady Hestia Evans. Purportedly written for Lady Hestia's own children in the 19th century, the book has been updated by the publisher to be relevant to the interests of schoolchildren studying Ancient Greece today. With 25 chapters packed full of information on ancient Greek gods, monsters, heroes, and culture as a whole, plus suggestions for fun activities, this is a volume no aspiring mythologist should be without. This wiro-bound hardback book features four pages of stickers and several other paper novelties.
