The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends is a collection of stories from Greek mythology and legends from the Middle Ages. The first half of the book presents numerous Greek myths including those of Prometheus, Heracles, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Theseus, and many others. The last half of the book features legends from the Middle Ages including Beowulf, The Song of Roland, and Sigurd of the Volsungs. There is also one story from Persian literature entitled Rustem and Sohrab. The introduction gives the reader background information to all of the stories in the book and is quite helpful; I found myself turning back to it as I was reading the book. Though the stories are adaptations designed for middle school readers, adults will find this book an excellent introductory volume to Greek mythology and the sagas of Old English, Norse, Celtic, and French literature. Highly recommended.

I first read this book when I was in first grade; it was my intro to the ancient myths that permeate our culture. I wanted my son to have the same experience. I was overjoyed to find a copy available, and I'm more than pleased with my purchase.
