    Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend: A Celebration of Gay Gods, Sapphic Saints,=
    & Queerness Through the Ages will prove of special interest to libraries i= nterested in lively discussions of queer heroes throughout time. This is ac= hieved through fifty profiles accompanied by black and white illustrations = that bring to the forefront thousands of years of myths, legends, and figur=
    es that come from historic and cultural icons. All this is presented in a l= ively, accessible format that lends to leisure reading and browsing as much=
    as pursuit by those interested in historical facts. The result is a romp t= hrough history that returns the importance, impact, and presence of queer h= eroes to modern times.
