1 Orgel, Doris The Princess and the God
0531095169 / 9780531095164; Ages 11 and up. "Please make me plain," young Psyche begs the gods. But with each year her loveliness grows - stirring the jealousy of her two older sisters. Throughout their father's kingdom it is said that Psyche is more beautiful that even Venus, the goddess who rules over passionate desire. Glowering down from the heavens, Venus sees mortals abandoning her temples, worshiping this upstart girl instead. Enraged, the goddess sends her son Cupid to earth, commands to inflame Psyche "with a passion for the crudest, meanest fool." But at first sight of her, Cupid is himself inflamed. All that happens in this ancient tale - here given new, fleshed-out power in Psyche's own voice - happens because of love. A terrifying journey to the underworld and the other cruel punishments inflicted by Venus are themselves inhuman tests. The courage Psyche summons to survive them is well-nigh superhuman, but her very humanness, Amor sees at last, is her greatest gift to him - and through him to lovers for all time. 116 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
