The book takes readers on a journey through the oceans of children’s books inspired by ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The 26 chapters (arranged alphabetically) discuss elements important in literature for young readers, providing insights into how mythical adaptations, retellings, and allusions connect with aspects of childhood and adolescence.

The book "Classical Mythology and Children’s Literature… An Alphabetical Odyssey", written by Elizabeth Hale with Miriam Riverlea (illustrations by Steve K. Simons) is an excellent contribution to contemporary discussions on the function, place, role and status of mythology in the education of children and young people, its relation to children’s literature, its significance in the broader circulation of literary culture and the scope of international interdisciplinary research conducted on this literature. The authors’ considerations, which focus on the phenomenon of literary adaptation, are very extensive and go far beyond the area of literary studies (with particular emphasis on narrative theory), as they touch upon anthropological issues (here: e.g. the issue of childhood), cultural studies and visual art.
From the editorial review, Dorota Michułka, University of Wrocław
I have learnt a lot about contemporary children’s literature and its multifarious reception of mythology and admire the authors for taming the topic in a delightfully readable study.
