"The charm and value of [Bulfinch's] work lie...in his skillful and swift retelling of the stories of our classical heritage....They are recollected here to the accompaniment of a gallery of art from Pericles's time to our own - delicious fables for the waking of whatever slumbering memories of concord may be awaiting them, in this century of discord, in our hearts."
