Hörbuch: Wonder Book for Girls and Boys (version 2)

THE author has long been of opinion that many of the classical myths were capable of being rendered into very capital reading for children.

A great freedom of treatment was necessary to his plan; but they remain essentially the same, after changes that would affect the identity of almost anything else. (Lenox - from the Preface (July 15, 1851)
