[quote=Anonymous]D'Aulaire's Book of Greek and Book of Norse Myths. I read those books so much as a kid, I'd practically memorized them. Aside from being incredibly well written and illustrated, they're an accessible intro to the foundation of so much of western literature. Being able to recall the 12 Olympians, Heracles, Theseus, the Minotaur, Jason and the Argonauts, etc. served me really well in college (I was an English lit major). The Norse myths are darker, but still easily readable for an elementary or middle schooler. Also - I hope at least one of my kids ends up being as much of a Tolkien fan as I am and is happy to sit through the entire LOTR trilogy + the Silmarillion. [/quote]
