'Round the Year in Myth and Song

A yearlong anthology for children that pairs seasonal readings, retellings of classical myths, and poems with illustrations and pedagogical notes. Organized by months and seasons, it offers brief, child-friendly versions of traditional myths alongside poems and excerpts, pronunciation guidance for proper names, and suggestions for oral recitation, memorization, and classroom activities. Themes emphasize nature, the changing year, and the origins of familiar poetic and artistic motifs; entries vary between narrative myth retellings and short lyric poems, enabling teachers to use selections for reading, recitation, and composition practice.
