Thirty More Famous Stories Retold, the sequel to the popular Fifty Famous Stories Retold, 
retells the stories of legendary people and mythological figures in simple, easy-to-understand 
language appropriate for intermediate readers and listeners of all ages. Contained within are 
the fascinating and thrilling stories from science and myth, from Camelot and Rome, that 
every child should know. In James Baldwin's introduction he explains that: "Nearly all the 
stories are true, and there are not more than three or four that might not have happened. In 
every one there is something worth learning and remembering."
