How special is it that we can still read the Greek myths which were written so long ago today? Three of our best Dutch female writers and two Flemish male writers have made beautiful retellings of them - especially for young people. So it is with great pleasure that we introduce you to 4 of our favorite books for this summer vacation month (with plenty of time to read. Today the first book: De Griekse Tragedies (The Greek Tragedies).
We start off well with The Greek Tragedies, which are still regularly performed in the most beautiful theaters around the world. The stories we read in this book have been retold by Dutch author Simone Kramer. She has written many books about the Greek Heroes for young people and all her books are very beloved.
