Lavishly illustrated book for kids that provides a fairly comprehensive overview of Greek mythology. It covers pretty much all the main figures, from deities to heroes to non-human creatures, and it's all told in easy-to-digest stories, all of which are related in a relaxed and often humorous tone. I was surprised by how much it covered - this is far more akin to an encyclopaedia than a picture book - yet it was such an easy read that it didn't feel nearly as long as it was. Likeable and thorough, though clearly edited to remove the more disturbing elements of the myths.
