Kids loved it. I really like the preface and conclusion in regards to helping kids understand context for mythology and the interjections on morality. Numerous people reading, but well done.

I've learnt a lot about some of the Greek myths I was only passingly aware of from listening to this book AND enjoyed the stories. Engaging, expressive and clear readers make the tales come alive

Not bad, but I did not realize this was one man telling the stories to his children. Interesting listen nonetheless.
