Numerous black and white illustrations and photographs are included in the text.

As originally published, this work contained two parts: Ancient Hero Stories and European Hero Stories. This text contains only the first part, Ancient Hero Stories. The second part was published separately as European Hero Stories. Heroes of the Middle Ages  by the same author contains essentially the same text as European Hero Stories, modified slightly for the British audience for which it was published.
