Gotta love the classics. This short, condensed book is great! It has not been cleaned up to the point that anything, that someone, might find to be to much for children to see, was edited out. Some juicy bits are left in, like on pgs. 28-29, where children will see the stabbing death of King Pelias by his daughters, these daughters then "boiled him in water." in hopes of making him "young and strong again." Children beware old school Greek style story time might give you nightmares........... ( )
