This book contains easy-to read retellings of all John Lyly's eight plays: Campaspe, Endymion, Galatea, Love's Metamorphosis, Midas, Mother Bombie, Sappho and Phao, The Woman in the Moon. In these retellings, as in all my retellings, I have tried to make the work of literature accessible to modern readers who may lack the knowledge about mythology, religion, and history that the literary work's contemporary audience had.
