Acclaimed storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton breathes vigorous life into this dramatic story from the ancient world. Beautiful Persephone is cruelly snatched from everything she knows and loves by Hades, the dark-hearted King of the Underworld. While Persephone pines and starves in the Underworld, her mother the goddess Demeter mourns above ground and strikes a curse on the earth making it winter all year round. When the gods intervene, Persephone and her mother are reunited – except for three months of the year during which Persephone must return to Hades as pay back for the pomegranate seeds she ate. Virginia Lee’s illustrations vividly contrast the two worlds in which Persephone lives.
