In the early nineteenth century, an English nobleman embarked on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. He brought as his guide a primer on Greek myths written by his friend Lady Hestia Evans, a devotee of Lord Byron who had recently taken the same voyage. In the true Romantic spirit, Lady Hestias book was not only lavishly illustrated but also boasted many paper crafts & novelties, including a card game featuring the twelve Olympians, an oak-leaf oracle of Zeus, a pop-up Pandoras box (with hope still inside), a booklet retelling the tale of Odysseus, a piece of the Golden Fleece, a gold OBOLOS coin to pay the ferryman on the River Styx, & many more flaps, foldouts, & other surprises. The nobleman added his own witty comments & drawings along the way, but seems to have wished for something odd at the Delphic oracle: as the book nears its end, it slowly begins to turn... to gold. Now, for lovers of Greek myths & those just discovering their timeless power, this fascinating volume is faithfully reproduced with all its Romantic ambience, clever wit & novelty features intact. ...
