We're reading about the Wright Brothers and the story made reference to Wilbur Wright reading about Daedalus in a Greek Mythology book. My eight year old knew the story of King Minos and the Minotaur but not of Daedalus and Icarus. This is a great emergency download to fill in where our mythology lessons were lacking. We look forward to checking out more of Robert's work.
