Written by Geraldine McCaughrean and featuring illustrations by Tony Ross; these books provide children with the perfect introduction to both Greek and Roman mythology. Adapted into short stories; children aged 7 and over who love history and have developed an interest in myths will be excited to hear all about Theseus' battle with the murderous minotaur; Jason and his battle for the Golden Fleece; and Zeus' incredible war against the Titans! These are thrilling page-turners and the shorter nature of the stories makes them extra appealing. They'll come in handy for history lessons; too.
