![]() Where to buy: British Myths and Legends Abebooks If you’re interested in a comparison between the original books and the smaller multi-part volumes that Folio also released a few years later for some of these editions – whilst the text is identical and the obvious difference is size, I believe the most important distinction is in the illustrations – the single volume editions contains beautiful two-colour images, whilst the illustrations in the smaller cheaper sets are produced only in black and white.Įditor: Richard Barber | Illustrator: John Vernon Lord Grahame Baker provides the lovely illustrations. The tales are followed by an interpretation of its origin and significance. ![]() Each myth is presented in the voice of a narrator, and each God or Goddess is introduced as they are born. This book was first released in 1996 and it is a fairly scholarly study of the myths, relating them to the way the ancient Greeks lived and thought. We open our tour with the single volume edition of The Greek Myths, retold by Robert Graves. ![]() Editor: Robert Graves | Illustrator: Grahame Baker ![]()
