(3) YA Illustrated by Edward Gorey. This collection features thirty-eight retellings of classic Greek myths, including heroes that are both familiar (Perseus; Echo and Narcissus; Midas) and less well known (Tereus, Procne, and Philomela; Cephalus and Procris). Told in straightforward, accessible prose, the stories provide a fine introduction to Greek mythology. Gorey's occasional staid line drawings enhance the text.
