"Warner has given us a splendid abridgement and adaptation of the Metamorphoses, and has added a lovely version of Apuleius. ... Instead of worrying about Ovid's intentions he treats the myths as fairy stories which are beautiful and suggestive in themselves. ... Of Mr. Rex Warner's own intentions in writing this book there can be little doubt. He wanted to provide the modern reader with a convenient summary of the main classical myths, from which our poets have drawn so many of their themes and allusions. ..." --review by Harold Nicolson as a translation, The Observer 1950-06-25 p7, "Metamorphoses"
