I listened to these Greek myths as told by Nathaniel Hawthorne over a weekend. My kids listened to some of these as well and really enjoyed the ones that they heard. I'm sure they'll request that we download these again the next time we have a long car ride as we all enjoyed listening. The stories are written as if being told to young listeners, so they translate perfectly to audio format.

I always forget how many familiar story lines have origins in ancient Greece. These tales are truly timeless -- first told in Greece, written in this form in the 1800s, and enjoyed in 2016 by children and adults. Part of what is so engaging here is that the tales are told in rich language by a master storyteller. The full cast recording also brings the stories to life.
