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.
