Heroes, Gods, and Monsters
by Bernard Evslin
A fantastic world of spells and curses, magic and mystery, and forces that create and destroy at will. Through this book, "you'll get to know the iconic gods, heroes, and tragic figures: Zeus, the all-powerful king of the gods; Hera, his cunning and jealous wife; King Midas, whose touch could turn anything into gold; the sculptor Pygmalion, who falls in love with his own creation; and many more.
"With each story, Evslin brings new life to these legendary characters and the magical world they inhabit."
