Editorial Review:

The grandeur of an ancient culture comes magnificently to life in this scrupulously researched book. Paper doll fans can dress 2 figures (male and female) in 16 elaborately embroidered and artfully draped costumes from major historical periods: Archaic (c. 750–500 BC), Classical (c. 500–232 BC), and Hellenistic (323–30 BC).

Rating:

- Great costumes
The drawings and costumes are exquisite, like most of Tom Tierny books are. The explanation of each type of costume is well-done and easy to understand. My only exception to the product is the near nudity--tastefully done and, I'm sure, just done to show authenticity, but it may be something to consider if you are buying this for a child.

Rating:

- Excellent Illustrations
This is a well done book which shows illustrations of typical clothing of the ancient Greeks throughout several historical periods. The drawings are clear and accurate as are all of Tom Tierney's similar works. This was an invaluable aid to designing an historically accurate costume for my 6th grader's "Greek Festival".
