![]() ![]() In this handsome series, they speak to us afresh, across the ages, vivified through Caselli's inspired art. Together they form a remarkable tapestry of human endeavor: dreams, illusions, adventures, loves lost and loves found. ![]() As enjoyable now as when Bulfinch first assembled them, these selections come from a variety of works - Ovid's classic Metamorphoses, Egyptian myths, Eastern mythology, and Hindu, Norse, and Celtic sources. Evocative four-color illustrations, many full-page, bring to life key events and characters of these universal tales and sagas - from the Greek and Roman pantheon of gods to the heroes of the Crusades, from the exploits of Robin Hood to the feats of Richard the Lionheart. Though Bulfinch's has been heralded for more than a century, it has never been published in so beautiful and accessible a format. Each timeless myth is superbly presented in story form and enhanced with original art work by world-renowned artist Giovanni Caselli. Here are the world's most-loved stories, in a dynamic visual tour de force for today's readers. ![]()
