Bookroo's summary

When Hades carries Persephone off to the underworld, her mother Demeter, goddess of the harvest, searches the earth in sorrow and lets the crops die. This retelling of the Greek myth shows how a bargain among the gods brings Persephone home for part of each year, explaining the turning of the seasons.
