Myths, Monsters and Mayhem in Ancient Greece

Description

The Greek myths are some of the oldest and most famous stories ever told. This striking comic book collection is the perfect introduction to the world of the gods - containing six tales full of love, loss, greed, envy and bravery. Journey down to the Underworld with Orpheus and join Theseus in his quest to defeat the dreaded Minotaur. Bursting with detail and humour, James Davies' retelling of the Greek myths will delight readers of all ages.

James Davies (Author, Illustrator) James Davies is an illustrator and author from Wales, now living in Bristol. He has recently returned to illustration with a uniquely bold, graphic style, influenced by old cartoons and retro picture books and is the author and illustrator of the best-selling Meet the... series. His first picture book, Long Dog, was published in July 2018. James's favourite food group is carbs and his worst enemy is a bald Chihuahua.

If you have a child who wants to know more about the Greek gods, ID the ancient mythical and deadly creatures or head off to the underworld, this is the book to give them. The format blends comic strip-style storytelling with digestible factual pages and it's a combination that packs in a lot of information in a pleasingly easy-to-read format. We particularly love the comic-strip treatment of the Perseus and Medusa story and the useful map of the real places where Greek myths were set. * Absolutely Education *
