D’Aulaire’s Boof of Greek Myths
This is the original/older version of this amazing book retelling Greek myths.
Starting with Gaea and Uranus (Earth and sky), stories are chronological to the Titans, Zeus and his descendants. Supporting characters are also given their due. You will read about Hera, Hades, Persephone, Pandora, Centaurs, Orpheus, the Gorgon, King Midas, Oedipus, and more.
We used this in conjunction with our Story of the World book 1: The Ancient World curriculum and Read with the Best for the Middle Grades Medieval Times.
My son and I were not looking forward to reading about all the gods and their stories but it is so well written that it quickly became a favorite read aloud! The stories and colorful illustrations were very interesting even to a 7th grade boy, probably much more so to a younger crowd!
The front cover has a bend at the corner (see picture), the title page inside has a very small crinkle on the bottom, and there is a label over the ISBN number on the back cover from where I bought it used myself.$7.50$19.95D’Aulaire’s Boof of Greek Myths

Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons
For true believers only, a lavishly illustrated reproduction of a legendary volume by the world’s most distinguished dragonologist. Don’t let it fall into the wrong hands!
Do you believe in dragons? Now, for the first time, the long-lost research of renowned nineteenth century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, happily bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits. Here are just a few of DRAGONOLOGY’S fascinating features:
— Novelty item on every spread, including tactile samples of dragon wings, dragon scales, and dragon skin
— Booklet of dragon riddles (indispensable to the burgeoning dragonologist)
— Sealed envelope containing a powerful dragon-calling spell
— Embossed faux leather cover with silver foil, encrusted with three dragon gemsIn his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible – a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere!
