Synopsis

This collection contains more than 30 enthralling new retellings of favourite myths as well as some you might not have heard before!

Including Theseus and the Minotaur, The 12 labours of Herakles, and the escapades of Jason and the Argonauts, each myth is told in engaging modern language, which is easy for children to understand yet still retains the humour and intrigue of the original tales, breathing new life into each classic story.

Delve deeper into the mythical world; children will love exploring the tales by themselves or as bedtime stories.

Dozviete sa základné informácie, nejdete príliš do hĺbky a zistíte tak či vás to vôbec zaujíma. Mňa strašne, takže......more
