The needles and pins were said to be relevant to seamstresses in rural French history, I'm now trying and failing to find good sources ...It was interesting for us both to read the author and illustrator notes at the beginning of the book, to see how the algorithm was used to change the stories and which elements had to be adapted manually. I really enjoyed this book, and I found the concept of gender swapping very interesting. It was refreshing to see the women warriors out fighting and the men told to sit inside. Even the language used to describe the genders was different to that typically used in mythology, for example women being described as brave and great. The illustrations were beautiful and interesting and I loved the colour scheme. They really brought the myths to life. The stories were intriguing, easy to read and exciting. My favourites were Odyssea and the Cyclopess because it is very clever, and Pandorus and his Casket. They were funny and light-hearted, so perfect for younger readers as well as older ones. I feel very well informed about Greek mythology and would definitely recommend it to a friend! Grace B, 14
