The Argonautica is the dramatic story of Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece and his relations with the dangerous princess Medea. The only surviving Greek epic to bridge the gap between Homer and late antiquity, this epic poem is the crowning literary achievement of the Ptolemaic court at Alexandria, written by Appolonius of Rhodes in the third century BC. Appollonius explores many of the fundamental aspects of life in a highly original way: love, deceit, heroism, human ignorance of the divine, and the limits of science, and offers a gripping and sometimes disturbing tale in the process. This major new prose translation combines readability with accuracy and an attention to detail that will appeal to general readers and classicists alike.

Little Inchkin is the "smallest samurai" — the tiny hero of a well-known Japanese story reminiscent of Tom Thumb. Only as big as a lotus flower, he fashions a sword out of a needle and straw, makes armor out of beetles' wings — and sets out to seek his fortune. How he proves his valor, wins the hand of a princess, and is granted his dearest wish by the Lord Buddha is charmingly depicted in this retelling of the legendary tale. Author Fiona French's striking artwork is based on 19th-century Japanese prints.
