2/24: enjoying the d'Aulaires again

Like many people, I have vivid memories of paging through the d'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths when I was young. The distinctive style of the d'Aulaires' illustrations and the size of the book itself tend to make a lasting impression. Because of its popularity I included it in my Myth & Children's Literature course. This evening I've been enjoying the smartness of the d'Aulaires' art in a way I never could have understood as a child. I'm glad for this opportunity to revisit an old favorite and see it with new eyes.
