"Atalanta" is the fourth book in the Early Myths collection, a series of children's picture books about Greek myth.

The books are aimed at 4 to 8 year olds, are beautifully illustrated and easy to read. Atalanta is the story of a young girl who does not want to be married off to a local prince, and instead heads off into the forest to live with the animals. She learns to hunt, run, and take on all that nature throws at her, becoming one of the greatest of the heroes.
