I was hesitant to buy this book because of the negative reviews, but I went ahead and purchased six for a book club I run. I got the inexpensive one with the cover that has a Milo Winter picture of young people on a ship. It is a beautiful, clear version. The print is perfectly ordered with lovely margins and fine quality. It does not have illustrations inside, but it is perfectly readable! All six are fine!

This is a cute story as a introduction to Greek mythology for children. It is kind of fast on the story of Jason and it was way too short as a book. But other than that it was near perfect. Also has no reference to sexual behavior in it witch will be a huge plus to both kids and parents alike. Four out of five stars from me. ;-)

I have a lot of Calla books, and this one surprised me because the illustrations inside are not color calibrated at all. Unforgivable at such a high price.
