| 3. |  | One Thousand and One Arabian Nights (Oxford Story Collections) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  Ridiculously inaccurate translation that dumbs everything down to the level of children. As you can see from some of the other reviews, most people seem to think they're dealing with kidlit from the outset, but if you value world literature, then castigate Oxford for this pop atrocity. It's... |

| 9. |  | Perseus from Cricket Books Price: $12.76 Customer Review: There are probably much shorter retellings of this hero-story, and there are probably quite a few longer ones - but if you wish to avoid the simplicity of a picture book and the long-windedness of an epic, then I don't think you'd find any reason to complain about Geraldine McCaughrean's version of... |

| 14. |  | Theseus (Heroes) from Cricket Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Without changing the story this retelling of the myth of Theseus adds the human elements to the characters.
