Atticus the Storyteller's 100 Greek Myths

CD Reviews

“The print version of this charming anthology of stories about the titans and their spectacularly heroic, wayward, lascivious, boorish and occasionally kindly offspring, aimed at four- to eight-year-olds, has pictures. The audio is better; it has Simon Russell Beale. Actors reading to small children invariably adopt a cringe-making, "isn't this fun?", wide-eyed-wonder tone. Not Russell Beale. His quiet, serious reading makes the OTT exploits of Zeus, Perseus, Theseus et al and the plethora of monsters, gorgons, cyclops, etc totally credible. As myths should be.”

“Atticus the sandalmaker, with his donkey Melissa, sets out from Crete on a journey to a storytelling festival near Troy. On the way, he unpacks 26 Greek myths, perfectly pitched in language that is neither too antiquated nor too self-consciously slangy.
For imprinting on five to 10-year-old minds the fates of famous names such as the Minotaur and Midas, this audiobook cannot be bettered: Simon Russell Beale's gentle and musical voice enchants, then startles as he erupts into the rough-hewn shouts of sailors, the cackles of the Gorgons, and the bellow of Zeus.”
