<b>This review refers to the edition illustrated by Jesús Sotés.</b>

Witty and intelligent and highly readable. Fry spends a good amount of time with the primordial deities, imbuing them with more personality than most authors bother with, and gives some of the less common variations on the more well-known myths.

Jesús Sotés's illustrations are lush and vibrant, but I don't believe they're quite right for this book's humorous tone. I think that Sotés's (truly beautiful) work would be perfect for a lavish children's collection of myths.

I love this series by Stephen fry! And you add these beautiful illustrations! Honestly I just want him to do more in this series.... thankyou for the chance to look at this!
