these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”

Canongate Challenge!

I made this: Unknown at 9:21 pm
Having enjoyed the Penelopiad so much, I've decided to read the rest of the modern myth Canongate series. 

Launched in October 2005, this project co-ordinates simultaneous worldwide publication of each book in the series. 


From the website:
Myths are universal and timeless stories that reflect and shape our lives — they explore our desires, our fears, our longings, and provide narratives that remind us what it means to be human.The Myths series brings together some of the world's finest writers, each of whom has retold a myth in a contemporary and memorable way.
