Sappho: The Lost Poetess is a beautifully illustrated introduction to the most important female poet of the ancient world. It will be an inspiration to young readers, and they'll obtain a lot of pleasure from the artwork and storytelling. -- Donald Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor

Gorgeous Children's Book that Gives Sappho the attention she deserves!
I had no idea just how important Sappho was in the ancient world... but this beautiful children's book really taught me (and my kids!) about this important poetess. I thought it was so cool that her original poetry is in the book and the recent discovery of her poems was so neat. My kids think it's awesome. I've been following Classical Wisdom for years, so I was thrilled to see that they published a kid's book - especially about Sappho. I definitely recommend it - even to someone who has no knowledge of history or literature. This is a fantastic introduction into the ancient world and to the lost poetess Sappho... so glad she's being found!

What a lovely book and a great introduction to children about the ancient world. With images indicative of ancient Greece, Sappho comes to life in this beautifully illustrated picture book about the lost poetess. Children (and adults alike) will be enchanted by the story of her writing which gained acclaim throughout the Greek world and beyond. The lost poem about her brothers found in 2014 makes the reader of any age want to learn more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong book

I was distressed to open this book and find instead of the story of Sappho, a children's story of the nativity of Jesus. Looks like someone in production made a mistake. Unfortunately I disposed of the packing material before finding the error as I intended the book as a gift.
