Publisher's Synopsis
Written for young readers by a great Irish folklorist, this Newbery Award-winning anthology was acclaimed by Publishers Weekly as "still unequaled as an introduction to the classic myths." Padraic Colum recounts Jason and the Argonauts' quest for the golden fleece and related stories of Atalanta the huntress, the fearsome Minotaur, the minstrel Orpheus, and other immortal tales. Willy Pogány's enchanting drawings complement the text.
