This volume gathers three classic Greek myths retold for a younger audience. The first tale follows the tragic king Acrisius, who, fearing a prophecy, locks his daughter Danaë in a hidden chamber and later casts her and her newborn son out to sea. The infant drifts in a cedar chest while Danaë sings a lullaby, and the gentle winds guide them toward an unknown coast, hinting at the extraordinary life that awaits the child.
Listeners will be drawn into the early moments of Perseus’s destiny, as the sea‑borne pair encounter an imp‑like spirit and a grieving sailor before the story moves toward the hero’s promised quest. The narrative balances suspense with tender moments, inviting children to imagine how a tiny baby could grow into the slayer of monsters foretold by the gods.

1819–1875
A Victorian writer and Anglican clergyman whose books mixed adventure, social concern, and strong moral energy, he is still best known for The Water-Babies and the historical novel Westward Ho!. His life joined the pulpit, public debate, and storytelling in a way that made his work stand out in 19th-century England.
