## Description

Presenting the newest discovery in the series with the Midas touch — a mythical exploration fit for the gods. In the early nineteenth century, an English nobleman embarked on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. He brought as his guide a primer on Greek myths written by his friend Lady Hestia Evans, a devotee of Lord Byron who had recently taken the same voyage. In the true Romantic spirit, Lady Hestia’s book was not only lavishly illustrated but also boasted many paper crafts and novelties, including a card game featuring the twelve Olympians, an oak-leaf oracle of Zeus, a pop-up Pandora’s box (with hope still inside), a booklet retelling the tale of Odysseus, a piece of the Golden Fleece, an obolos coin to pay the ferryman on the River Styx, and many more flaps, foldouts, and other surprises. The nobleman added his own witty comments and drawings along the way, but seems to have wished for something odd at the Delphic oracle: as the book nears its end, it slowly begins to turn . . .to gold. Now, for lovers of Greek myths and those just discovering their timeless power, this fascinating volume is faithfully reproduced with all its Romantic ambience, clever wit and novelty features intact.

Review: Mythology made fun and accessible for young children, with lots of little treasures within! - My first grader has recently become interested in mythology after listening to the story of the winged horse, Pegasus. Seeing that this was offered at a great price here on desertcart, I promptly purchased it, and it has been such a joy to peruse the pages of this wonderful book with my daughter. The book itself is attractively bound, and has a lovely aquamarine color with embellishments on the front, and depicts Hercules killing the Hydra. Written in the form of a mystery, the book purports to be a facsimile of a book that was used by a certain John Oro to contact the Greek Gods for his own benefit, and which results in ill-fated consequences. Lavishly illustrated, the book begins with an introduction to mythology and contains short stories of well-known Greek myths such as the story of King Midas and his Golden Touch, an excellent antique-looking map of ancient Greece, together with a genealogical table of the gods, monsters, and heroes of ancient Greece. This is followed by pages on the creation of the gods; monsters and mythical beasts (contains a little insert which depicts the various serpents, as well as a specimen of the Golden Fleece); the origins of mankind (a pop-up of Pandora's box is included here); Zeus and Hera (with an insert containing 'sacred' oak leaves that can be used as an oracle); Poseidon and the sea (with a really abbreviated version of The Odyssey); Hades and the underworld (with a replica of an ancient obol); Ares, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus (with a golden replica of a death mask imprint); Apollo, Hermes, and Dionysus (with knowledge cards of the Gods of Olympus); Athena, Artemis, and Hestia (has lovely illustrations of the three Goddesses); Heracles and the Greek Heroes (and large illustration of the Cretan Labyrinth); and, the Trojan Horse. At the back of the book there are some note paper to take notes on, as well as a feather quill ballpoint pen. This is an excellent value for a young child eager to learn about the vast stories contained in Greek mythology and makes an excellent introduction to the subject.
Review: Coolest books ever! - I don’t know how I have never seen this book series but my daughter got one for a friend for Christmas and showed it to me and I was completely enamored with it, to the point we bought 2 of the books in the series right then and there, and plan on collecting the entire series! These will basically be our coffee table books. They look like a cross between a reference book and a scrapbook, with lots of fictional and non-fictional information, pullouts, envelopes with surprises inside, games, etc. The covers are absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to have the whole collection! Hard cover is a must! They are worth every penny, trust me! The one my daughter showed me first was Dragonology. I’m not even into dragons and I was completely taken by that book! They will make a great gift for any book lover I think, kids and adults alike. I’m 45 and these are literally the coolest books I’ve ever seen, and there are no others like them!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely and intriguing books. Highly recommended!
*by H***L on May 14, 2025*

This whole series of books is so wonderful. I'm a substitute teacher in an elementary school, and while in the library, saw this one (well, the Dragonology one). It was SO beautiful looking. The librarian said she found it at a sale - and wasn't it wonderful?! It was. They have 'gem' like resin adhered to the outside in spots, with gold finish abound. The inside of these books have amazing drawings, drawing the readers into a mythical world that feels so real, and they feel so involved. The writing is as if they are being spoken to, by some adventure seeker from another age. My daughter loves writing. She's a 7th graders and all her teachers have said she needs to be some sort of a writer. She absolutely loves and pours over these books. She has 4 of them now! Highly recommend for kids of all ages. It will not disappoint
