His retellings include Egyptian, Greek and Norse legends, plus a retelling of Robin Hood. He also wrote many books for adults, including a biography of his friend C. S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really captures the heart of Greek Myth, 20 May 1998
By A Customer
This book is among the best myhology books I have ever read. It is expanded to the best and most popular of Greek Myths. For example, The Labors of Hercules, The Quest for the Golden Fleece and more.

By Mr. S. A. Chalk (Hayes, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have recently got into Greek Mythology and this book has it all, from the hero that is Perseus to that of Heracles (or before known; Hercules) It proves an in depth account of every event with only a few known classics missed out :). Could not of found a better book.
