D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths (Ingri and Edgar d’Aulaire)
$19.99
Recommended by Lida Richardson
The best illustrated book of Greek myths! I read it cover to cover so many times as a kid. The illustrations are stunning. If I had a child it’s the first thing I would buy, which definitely isn’t good in terms of priorities and probably a sign that I shouldn’t…but anyway. Just glancing at the pages is transportive.

This was my gateway drug as a kid to a lifelong obsession with mythology. Nostalgia bomb!
