My Review
In my book. Marcia Williams is an absolute genius. I love her comic strip retellings of everything from Robin Hood to Shakespeare. They are so brilliant for newly emergent readers, and such an easy way for kids who otherwise would never read these stories to access them. These are an invaluable additon to any child's library!
Heads Up!
Look out for William's many other books - brilliant for home and school alike! If you want another Williams book for Ancient Greece enthusiasts, pick up a copy of her retelling of 'The Iliad and The Odyssey'.
Publisher Review
Eight favourite Greek myths – illustrated in colourful, cartoon-strip style!
The Greek myths are among the greatest, most exciting stories ever told and feature some of the world's best loved heroes and heroines. In this book, you'll find the stories of Theseus, conqueror of the dreaded Minotaur; the mighty Heracles and his twelve tasks; the tragic lovers Orpheus and Eurydice; Perseus, the Gorgon-slayer; the musician Arion and his rescue by the dolphins; Pandora and her little box of horrors; the feather-clad fliers Daedalus and Icarus; and the weaving contest between Arachne and the goddess Athene. Each of these tales has been retold with lively text and dramatic cartoon style, making them accessible and fun for young children.
