Wonderful illustrations

This book is a fairly faithful retelling of the Hades and Persephone tale, with a nice writing style. A couple of elements are omitted - such as Metaneira and her family, for example - but the illustrations were skillfully done, I liked the combination of black lines and creative watercolor. Altogether a decent hook.
