About this book

Golden apples, giants and a quest for a hammer appear among the myths selected for young readers by Hamilton Wright Mabie. This anthology brings together Greek and Norse tales, including the Argonauts, the Cyclops and the apples of Idun, alongside The Star and the Lily. Its contents draw on collections by Hawthorne, Kingsley and other writers, giving readers several approaches to telling stories about extraordinary beings and events.

Mabie's introduction explains myths as traces of earlier beliefs about nature. Familiar expressions and superstitions become examples of how people once understood wind and other forces as living beings. The stories also make room for everyday life: Cadmus teaches his children their letters, and Philemon and Baucis talk at their cottage door. These domestic scenes offer young readers familiar points of contact with myth, while the introduction gives older readers an account of how ancient ideas survive in language.
