She self-selected it from the library when she was in the 4th grade (10 yrs old) She would read the stories to me at night. The year before, she had already read the various Greek and Norse mythologies by wife/husband d'Aulaire team, and she said she wanted to know more. Her teachers and I were flabbergasted by her choice, but ONLY because we had read it in college as a text supplement. I love the way Virginia Hamilton puts a story together. The stories are short, interesting, human, and often poignant. Hamilton also includes stories that are not as well known but are interesting.(less)
