3 New Children’s Legends and Fairy Tales Books Available On Kindle

Xenophon's tale of high adventure, Anabasis: The March Up Country (or sometimes called "The Persian Expedition") has a direct tie to modern times.

In addition to being required reading for most classical literature students, it inspired the Sol Yurik novel, The Warriors, which was later made into a cult classic movie, and more recently adapted into a video game by Rockstar.

This time instead of the Greeks vs the Spartans in Persia, The Warriors retells the story of a group of modern street gangs brawling through Coney Island.
