This book is a rare 5 star from me. It delves not just into the women of myth but the trans and non binary characters as well.

TheBookHippie I agree I love this book! 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly Ooh, definitely intriguing! 3mo

The Abduction of Sita | R. K. Narayan
post image
Pickpick

Another mini Penguin for a short trip. Thoroughly enjoyed this, my introduction to the Ramayanam - an abridged version of R. K. Narayan‘s 1972 prose - I think this is from just one section. The cover is beautiful too, this image doesn‘t do it justice. I do now have a bunch of tabs open with writing on patriarchy and the Ramayana due to Sita‘s ordeal by fire…

The lovely Aubrey Beardsley frontispiece and title page of Beatrice Clay's retelling of Arthurian stories.
Although written for older children of the Edwardian era, and therefore removing certain "unsuitable" elements, it's not as moralistic as I'd feared it might be. Her afterword about knightly privilege being predicated on exploitation and enslavement of peasants is rather forward-thinking. 4.75 ?

Bookwomble The summary of one of my favourite Malory stories, Sir Gareth and Linette, the "Damosel Sauvage", has whetted my appetite for more Arthurian tales ?️ 4mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I felt like that after reading Arthurian tales too. 4mo

This 1934 edition of Beatrice Clay's Stories from Le Morte D'Arthur and the Mabinogion is an Edwardian retelling of the main Arthurian stories. I've had it for decades, so it's time is come to be read!
Written for children, the first 1901 edition left out Morgan le Fay, what with their relationship being "complicated", I suppose, but this reprint of the 1905 edition incorporated Morgan in suitably bowdlerised form.
⬇️

Bookwomble While it's a neat little edition, it's also a cheap reprint, without the original Dora Curtis illustrations, which the internet suggests are rather good, so that's a shame. 4mo
Leftcoastzen Still , very pretty! 4mo
Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen It has a nice Aubrey Beardsley frontispiece, which is some consolation 😊 4mo

RamsFan1963
Odyssey | Stephen Fry
post image
Pickpick

51/100 I know it's an old saying, but honestly, I could listen to Stephen Fry read a phone book, if they still existed. His narration really brings the story of Odessus to life, it's often quite funny when it's not being tragic, as Odessus has one misadventure after another, both helped and hindered by the various gods of Olympus. I know this is the last book of his Greek Mythology series, but I love to see him tackle Norse mythology. 5 🌟 read

dabbe I just started reading MYTHOS. I'm thinking I need to listen to it, instead. I love Stephen Fry! 💚💜💚 5mo
RamsFan1963 He has an amazing voice, and I love his characterization of Zeus, the most harassed father in history, always having his children pestering him for favors or to clean up messes they've mad in the mortal world. 5mo
