Perseus and the Gorgon (Young Reading Series 2)

Perseus is determined to rescue Andromeda, even though it means facing the hideous Gorgon, Medusa, whose glare turns warriors to stone. Fantastic illustrations by Simona Bursi give a very modern feel to this classic tale. This retelling is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories.
