      I love this lady's stuff, I really do. I discovered her when I bought a book of Fairy tales for my daughter's birthday a few years back. Her writing is a delight to read aloud, not to mention just read for yourself. She's re-told many of the old classics and won awards for her original stories.This re-telling of the story of Perseus is a slim volume, perfect for those kids who have discovered the Greek myths through Rick Riordan and want the true story.
