Gr 10 Up—Stories, background information, and analysis are interwoven in these substantial histories. Incorporating considerable scholarship, each book moves from earliest origins of the material through centuries of evolution into contemporary renderings of the characters and related themes "to freshen up the stories for new audiences." Occasional shaded insets add explanations. Original paintings, full page and a few double page, along with prints from many sources richly illustrate the written material. Tight bindings will be slightly annoying for readers. Many of the materials in the bibliographies will go over the heads of students, and the websites are mainly geared to subject specialists and researchers. All of the material would suit college students and adult readers.
VERDICT Young adults will find good stories and some bits of information in the packed presentations, and there's plentiful background information to support curriculum and teaching.
