@mythologymonday @AimeeMaroux @bookstodon @mythology @folklore @folklorethursday @TarkabarkaHolgy @juergen_hubert @curiousordinary @wihtlore @FairytalesFood Laura Orvieto's Stories of the World (Storie della Storia del Mondo, in Italian) is a classic for Italian children, a retelling of the Iliad written and illustrated at the beginning lf the 1900s that holds up to this day. I have read it to my daughter recently, and was amazed at how accessible, yet close to sources it was.

In Hungary, Carl Kerényi's Greek mythology books are the best ones - very detailed and interesting (though a bit dry). Some were published in English and German too.
