According to the poet Ogden Nash, "These legends and historical tales are a vital part of every child's education and it is a delight to find them told so simply and clearly." It would make a lovely gift for any child (or even any adult who feels that his knowledge of the world's greatest myths is lacking). The book measure 6 by 9 inches and contains 255 pages. Last but hardly least, the book is beautifully illustrated throughout by Mae Gerhard.. First Edition. Oversized Soft Cover. New. Illus. by Mae Gerhard. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
