Reseñas editoriales

Hamilton Wright Mabie adapted these much-loved stories from ancient mythology and recreated them for children in a way that feels as though they're being shared by a wise old grandparent. Narrator Suehyla El-Attar enhances the traditional storytelling experience with her performance, using her rich, mature voice in a subtly conversational way. Children will love the sense of wonder she brings, and it feels as though she is speaking directly to the audience as her voice rises and falls with the adventures of mythological figures such as Hercules, Proserpina, Odin, and many others.

I understand that many who read books think that doing voices makes it more interesting however, the way they are done in this one is way over the top. normal I could just be on my merry way and forget that but then they go and alter the stories so badly that i was over halfway through them before I realized what story/myth they were actually telling. for example Pluto is a god and was demoted to king but Pluto had no intentions of returning her. she was forced to then spend half the year in the underworld because she ate the pomegranate. the story of callithyia wasn't about a child but a women who found her self in the cross hairs of hera after attracting the attention of Zeus. not about a child kidnapped by a white bull. I get you don't want the "horrors" of these stories to touch young children but to change them so much like this destroys the original message.

some stories shouldn't be altered

Narrator has a great, soothing voice; perfect for bed time stories. However, she really needed to look up some of the pronunciations. The ones in the Norse stories are particularly painful to listen to.

The author uses words like "hither" and "thither," for no apparent reason. If he's trying to impress someone with that, it just doesn't work--and this is a book for kids? The author lost all credibility for me by writing that someone "ejaculated" words at someone. What's wrong with using "said" or "yelled" instead?

Interesting stories. Pretentious writing

Currently this book is being played for the third time. It's unanimous - liked by kids and adults. The narrator is a delight!
Now that the children are a little older, they're able to sit quietly for longer stretches of time - this is the kind of "chapter book" they enjoy. This coming summer we'll be taking some fairly long car trips. This collection is one I'll be pleased to have along.

Only one negative - at times too much new vocabulary especially when there are so many unfamiliar names and places. This is one book we'll not be able to listen to straight through. At least not until the myths are understood and known.


I rated it three stars for story
because there is sooo much new vocabulary in some of the myths. Well-chosen story perhaps but we almost lose the story in finding out the meaning of new words. In "Joseph and The Golden Fleece" for example, the sentence just played had five vocabulary words. One sentence five new words - that's a lot to expect for the kids! Given unfamiliar names and places even the adults can lose the story.

Really enjoyed this collection but would choose easier versions of the story.

Terrific narration good choice of myths

The other reviewer is not familiar with classically written stories of “yesteryear”
The modern perverse use of “ejaculated” is no fault of the author and the audience should have a good understanding of word use.

The words are being correctly used

This book os okay. Not one of my total favorites to listen to. I love fairytales, but these ones, how they were told weren’t really ones I liked. It is an okay book, but I think it could’ve been done better than how it is.
At times the reader would be super dramatic, but then right after, she’d say the words in a subtle way, and I didn’t really like it. Her voice is soothing, but when more into the book.

Then also the stories are so long! The first tale takes almost an hour! The poor narrator!
I do still listen to this book, though again, not one o’ my total favorites.
If i were to recommend this book to anyone, it’d be someone who loves fairytales told in this way.

It’s okay, I’m not a HUGE fan of it though.
