Myths Every Child Should Know, edited by Hamilton Wright Mabie and published by Garden City in 1914, was a beloved anthology that introduced generations of young readers to the foundational myths and legends of world culture. Illustrated by Mary Hamilton Frye, this edition features a green cloth binding with an illustrated color cover — a handsome and characteristic piece of early 20th century children's book design.
Mabie was a respected literary editor and critic whose anthologies helped shape what American children read in the early 20th century, and this collection remains a genuinely charming introduction to classical mythology for young audiences.
