This is the oldest recorded story known on the planet. There's something awesome about that! I'd heard of this from my Uncle Jon, and then again on Star Trek: The Next Generation (the best of the Star Treks). I'm looking for an adult version of the epic as well. I have it on CD, and am hoping the Skokie Public Library tracks down the print copy so I can read and listen at the same time! Until then, as usual, I started below my reading level just to "get my feet wet," as they say. I enjoyed the stories. It reminded me of the Greek myths I've read.
Interesting because it was once a banned book and is non-fiction. Definitely some gratuitous self-promotion by the author, but worth reading if the topic appeals to you.
