Persephone
By Sally Pomme Clayton
Sally Pomme Clayton's dramatic storytelling and Virginia Lee's haunting illustrations transform one of the world's oldest myths into a classic picture-book.
No flowers. No plants. No sunshine. When Hades carries Persephone down to the Underworld, her mother curses the Earth and everything stops growing. It is winter all year round. Persephone must return to Earth -- but how can Spring return where Winter reigns?
- One of the world's most ancient myths.
- Haunting illustrations by an exciting new talent make this an instant classic.
