That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. ;;This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . .;;Now a major film! This is an abridged edition, read by Walter Lewis. Running time- 3 hours.
