Daisy ~ History & Literature:
The Great Deeds of Superheroes: Cuchulain the Champion ~ Saxby & Ingpen pg 142-157

Saxby's writing style is engaging and succinct with the stories long enough to get a good overview of the character Saxby is introducing you to. These elements made this book a perfect leaping off point for extra reading about the characters that interested us. For 7-13 yr olds, I prefer Saxby's retelling of Gilgamesh over any other stories I've read about Gilgamesh, written by other authors, for this age group.
I especially appreciated the hero
chart in the book, it lists each hero and then things particular to each one:
Weapon or talisman, circumstances of
birth, prophecy, tutor/mentor, infancy, boyhood & youth, initiation, task
& trials, journey, strengths, weaknesses, death.
Heroes studied are Perseus, Heracles,
Theseus, Jason, Odysseus, Gilgamesh, Sigurd, Vainamoinen, Moses, Samson,
Beowulf, King Arthur, Cuculain, Roland, & El Cid.
