Read by Anthony Hyde
Children often miss out on the Greek myths, which is a pity: they are great, timeless stories. In these abridgement which retain the best of Andrew Lang's storytelling skills, and with Anthony Hyde's professional narration, the tales are easily accessible to a very wide age-range. Polyphemus' eye put out with a sizzling brand, Ulysses bound to his mast to resist the haunting Sirens' song (here electronically and effectively represented), Jason's mission to retrieve the Golden Fleece - they're all meat enough for our video-age children.
