Atticus the Storyteller: 100 Stories from Greece

ATTICUS THE STORYTELLER'S 100 GREEK MYTHS

The perfect way to discover your favourite Greek myths

Atticus the Storyteller leaves his family in Crete and sets off on a year-long journey round Greece with his donkey, Melissa, to take part in the great Storytelling Festival near Troy. Wherever he goes he tells stories to anyone who will listen - sailors, shepherds, actors, athletes, children and grannies.

The stories he tells are the myths of Theseus and the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, King Midas, Echo and Narcissus, Perseus and Andromeda, the labours of Heracles, the wanderings of Odysseus, and much, much more. They are linked by the story of Atticus's journey through the ancient sites where the stories originally happened. There is even a map for you to follow.

Accessible to even the youngest readers, this is a wonderful way to discover the greatest and most exciting stories the world has known.

'For a very long time there has been a real lack (despite many attempts) of a superb retelling of the Greek myths for younger children. This version will be with us for a long time, it is to be hoped, as it is vibrant, immediate, and above all, fun! . . . A really lovely book for all the family to share.' Books for Keeps
