Review — Perseus and Medusa
“This retelling of the famous Greek myth is quite complete in its details, including parts of the story not always included in children’s versions, such as the Gorgons, which frequently get dropped. But I was most impressed with the inclusion of the side story of Perseus’s return journey home, including his saving of Andromeda before he returns to court with the head of Medusa. A very true retelling, keeping it suitable for children. There is a bit of violence; Medusa does get her head chopped off after all, and with that a few drops of blood are shown here and there over a few pages. … A must read for mythology fans!”
