(urth) D'Aulaires books

[Son of Witz]

Thanks John & Allan.
The D'Aulaires look great. I'll be picking those up for sure.
We watched the Jim Henson Storyteller: Greek Myths recently and my son
loved them. I thought they might leave him cold. A few weeks later he
recounted the story of Icarus to me and said "he shoulda listened to his
father" all seriously. :D
These D'Aulaire books look great. There is a Troll one as well.
Thanks for the recommendations.
