There are 27 chapters and each story is based on an ancient text. It has been fun as an adult to puzzle out the origins of each tale. My six year old is enjoying listening to this book too.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not as good as I hoped By Lawrence M. Sanger My little boy has been exposed to a fair bit of philosophy, since my own training was in that subject. I was looking for another philosophy book after we read The Little Book of Big Questions. I got this book thinking it might have a significant amount of Plato's philosophy in it. It has only a tiny bit of recognizable moral philosophy. Most of the selections are myths, and indeed 90-95% of this book is myth. Of course, like all myth, the stories had plenty of moralistic elements, but that's different from moral philosophy.Qua myth, this is a rather disappointing collection to me. My son has read a lot of myth, too, and he enjoyed this. First, I can't say that I like this writer much. She goes into great detail on relatively trivial points and leaves development of the main action/theme threadbare. On a couple of occasions Burt repeats the same myth, in a different way, from one chapter to the next, as if she had forgotten to take out one of the versions. Maybe there is a pedagogical reason for this, but I'm not so sure. As for those myths that I recognized (about half of them), quite a few seemed to have significant details changed.Primitive explanations of phenomena are presented in the author's voice, or when it isn't clear whether she's speaking for herself or on behalf of the myth source. Of course, there's nothing wrong with giving primitive explanations of phenomena in a book of myth--that's what a lot of myth is about, after all--but there is something wrong, and annoying, in writing daft (Burt's introduction uses the word "poetic") stuff that isn't clearly presented as myth.Similarly backwards is the gratuitous nineteenth-century moral sentiment that shouldn't be surprising in a book first published 1894. Don't get me wrong; I don't mind moralistic writing in the least. What I mind is the ham-handed style.Now, the good: my five-year-old liked this book a lot, and said he wanted he wanted to get all of Mary Burt's writings. On the other hand, when I asked him what he liked about the book, he said, "the font." Seriously, I think the style appealed to him--but then, considering that this is an old-fashioned (nineteenth century) style, that just shows you that he's a weird little kid. And, since this was not a "greatest hits of Greek & Roman myth" sort of book, we did get exposed to a greater variety of myth than we had had from our various other sources so far.In short, this gets three stars from us (I might have given it two if not for my son's opinion) simply because it's a fairly mediocre book, both as philosophy and as myth. It's not surprising it was out of print until revived by "Yesterday's Classics."
