Media Reviews
?an exciting way into the Greek myths?Simon has a talent for writing stories with real child appeal. * Financial Times, 28 June 2003 *
I have never known much about the Greeks, or their Gods, but this book has enlightened me. The illustrations by Tony Ross bring the text to life as well as Francesca Simon's excellent choice of words?A wonderful book. * Evening Press (York), 16 July 2003 *
If this version of the Greek myths doesn't win over your child, nothing ever will. * Telegraph, 2 August 2003 *
Tony Ross's illustrations are brilliant as ever, and the overall sense of fun may be the catalyst needed to draw children into the glory that was mythical Greece. * School Librarian, Autumn 2003 *
This is told with flamboyant characterisation and the hair-raising tales offer an exciting introduction to the world of Greek mythology. * Junior Magazine, 1 December 2003 *
