Forbidden to open the mysterious jar that sits in a special room of its own, Pandora lets her curiosity get the better of her, in a stunning combination of prose and verse, drawn from traditional mythological sources, that vividly recreates this classic myth. 15,000 first printing. Presents the classic Greek myth of Pandora's box, describing how curiosity led her to open the forbidden jar and let evil into the world, leaving only hope in the jar. An inspired retelling of a classic tale
Pandora has been warned about the forbidden jar. Although she is surrounded with gifts and has rooms, gardens, and a courtyard to explore, Pandora is drawn to one room--the one that holds that jar. Is Pandora’s curiosity a curse? In a seamless blend of prose and verse--and drawing from traditional mythological sources--Robert Burleigh dramatically tells Pandora's story for young readers. Complemented by Raul Colón's bold illustrations, Pandora is an unforgettable introduction to the classic myth.
