CLASSIC MYTHS

Retold By

MARY CATHERINE JUDD

Principal of the Lincoln School

Minneapolis Minn.

ILLUSTRATED BY

ANGUS MAC DONALL

with drawings entirely from classic sources

The very cordial reception given this little book by teachers andchildren, both in school and out of school, has tempted me carefully torevise the stories, omitting some and adding others, in the hope ofmaking the book still more welcome and more helpful. The illustrationsin the present edition are all from classic sources, and reproduce forthe reader something of the classic idea and the classic art.

The book was originally prepared as an aid in Nature Study, and thisthought has been retained in the present edition. By reading these mythsthe child will gain in interest and sympathy for the life of beast,bird, and tree; he will learn to recognize those constellations whichhave been as friends to the wise men of many ages. Such an acquaintancewill broaden the child's life and make him see more quickly the true,the good, and the beautiful in the world about him.
