A review by tempestaurora
The Orchard Book of Greek Myths by Emma Chichester Clark, Geraldine McCaughrean

3.0

I was reading it for research when it comes to writing myths for children and I really wanted to enjoy this, but in the second paragraph we get the first inaccuracy and then there's at least 34 more after it (I counted, I'm bitter) that I caught - it's beautifully illustrated (though super white washed for these brown characters) and from the beginning it mixes up the Greek and Roman names for the gods, as well as simply changing the stories for certain characters.
I definitely learnt a lot about how to write myths for children but if I wanted the kids in my life to know the Greek names for the gods or how the stories actually went, I wouldn't show them this book. :((
