"The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales for My Children" is a distinguished collection of ancient Greek myths retold by Charles Kingsley specifically for a younger audience.

This edition is enriched by the artistic contributions of W. Russell Flint, whose nine illustrations, based on his water-colour paintings, provide a visual resonance to the mythological themes. Through its combination of masterful storytelling and artistic elegance, "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales for My Children" remains an essential volume for understanding the cultural impact of Greek mythology on literature and art.
