One of the ORCHARD MYTHS series of books this tells of

Theseus and the Minotaur:-
`No one has ever survived a meeting with the man-eating Minotaur but Theseus wants to try. Is he brave or very foolish?

Orpheus and Eurydice:-
Can Orpheus' beautiful music rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld?

Apollo and Daphne:-
Apollo loves Daphne; Daphne loves no man, and Cupid is to blame!

3.0 out of 5 stars The book all parents should read there children., 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent tour of greek Mythology. It brings these three stories to children in an intresting way, with sktechs which add to the atmosphere and fun. The stories are not long or in depth and not completely accurate but that is not the point. This is the sort of book I would have wanted to go to sleep with as a child.
