Greek Child's Play
Published in 1945 by Little Brown & Company, Adventures with the Gods by Catharine Sellew and illustrated by George and Doris Hauman is a charming primer created for young children. It contains sixteen stories featuring the heroes of Greek mythology as well as the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. The book even includes a handy index of all the characters' names and how to pronounce them. This delightful collection of stories provides an accessible introduction to the fascinating world of Greek mythology, making it an enchanting read for both children and adults.
Catharine Sellew, an American author, has a talent for turning ancient myths and legends into children's stories. Written using simple language and ideas, her stories create an almost fairytale-like experience for readers. It's no surprise that her works are captivating and beloved by many.
George and Doris Hauman were a married couple and American children’s book illustrators. They are perhaps most well-known for illustrating the popular 1954 edition of The Little Engine That Could. The couple decided to collaborate on projects because they had so many customers in common. They also used a joint signature for all of their illustrations.

Adventures with the Gods by Catharine F. Sellew 1945 HC $3.00

The stories in this book are ‘myths’. Some of these stories are of powerful gods and goddesses who they believed made and ruled the earth and were sung at feasts. Dating 1945, this hardcover has just slight wear on the cover. It was a library book from St. Paul’s School in Clearwater, FL and has their check out card inside (see photo). The pages and large print looks great.
Please Read
– I’m elderly and can’t smell very well so I can’t tell if the previous owner was a smoker. All of my items come from estate, tag or yard sales so I don’t know if the previous owner was a smoker nor if they had an animal.
Selling as is
