BGR:Pandora’s Box: A Bloomsbury Rea; Bloomsbury, 2007

A beautiful retelling of a classic Greek myth, perfect for fans of Geraldine McCaughrean.

When the world was new and the gods ruled the whole of Earth, a large wooden chest was sent to a newly-married couple with a warning not to open it. The chest was hidden away with the thought "out of sight, out of mind". But curiosity is a powerful thing and it can’t hurt to have one little look... can it?

This retelling of the classic Greek myth from Rose Impey has engaging black-and-white illustrations by Peter Bailey and is perfect for children who are developing as readers.
