GREEN, Roger Lancelyn - Tales the Muses Told - (Hardcover in Wrapper)

Book and wrapper still in a very good condition even though it belonged to a library before - A scarce title.   >>>   Roger (Gilbert) Lancelyn Green (2 November 1918 – 8 October 1987) was a British biographer and children's writer. He was an Oxford academic who formed part of the Inklings literary discussion group along with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.   >>>   If you have been reading books similar to the Percy Jackson series and are interested in the original myths that those stories make use of, this is an excellent place to start. It can sometimes be hard to find a book which actually tells the Ancient Greek stories as a narrative instead of merely telling you about them and summarizing them for you. However, this is not a dictionary or encyclopedia of Ancient Greek myths and characters, nor is it a history of Ancient Greece. This book is a collection of stories. It contains twenty different myths; some of them are familiar, such as the tale of Narcissus, while others are less well known such as the story of Enalus and the Dolphins, or Orion and the Pleiades.  (Goodreads)
