Psyche is the most beautiful woman in the world, yet the oracle at Delphi foresees she will fall in love with a creature feared even by the gods themselves. Magically, Psyche finds herself in a magnificent castle fitted with sweet music, attentive servants, and a charming but invisible host. Soon she falls in love with this man she has never seen, but in a moment of doubt she betrays his trust. To win back his love, Psyche must show that she is as brave as she is beautiful by performing three impossible tasks. Perhaps the greatest love story of all, Cupid and Psyche is unsurpassed in its richness and drama. Marie Craft's lively, suspenseful retelling of this classic Greek myth will appeal to young and old alike. And these legendary lovers have inspired forty lush luminous paintings by award-winning artist Kinuko Craft. Lavishly illustrated and thrillingly told, here is a book to be treasured forever.

Apuleius' tale of Cupid and Psyche has been popular since it was first written in the second century AD as part of his Latin novel Metamorphoses. This story of the love between the mortal princess Psyche (or "Soul") and the god of Love has given rise to treatments as diverse as plays, masques, operas, poems, paintings and novels. The essays in this volume focus on this reception, primarily in English material, though it also includes Italian, French and German receptions.
