I started writing for children back in 2014 when my first daughter was 4 years old and wanted to read about Perseus and Jason & the Argonauts. I found it hard to find an inspiring myth book for her age group and so I decided to dive right in and start my own series! My two girls have now grown up but are still involved in the creation and writing of these books.   Many of the Greek myth books are aimed at teenagers and I wanted to use my knowledge to create stories which bring them to life for a younger group. My books are aimed at 4 to 10 year olds, with bright and exciting pictures, and fun stories of the heroes and gods.   We've won a ton of book awards for story, design and illustration. Then in 2018, we were honoured to have the foreword for our fifth book, "Persephone", written by actor, director, comedian and writer, Stephen Fry. Stephen is an amazing author and has written some of the best books for adults on the Greek Myths.   These books are the perfect way to introduce children to the world of Greek mythology- and for the adults to brush up on their knowledge and enjoy these stories with their loved ones! The myths can be fun and crazy, full of heroes and monsters, and they will always excite children and help to explain the wonders of the world.   Pick a book and dive right in- you don't have to start with book 1 as they're all stand-alone tales. So grab whichever tickles your fancy. We have paperbacks, audiobooks and eBooks available, which means that there's a version for everyone. Enjoy them by listening or by reading, and explore timeless adventure stories.
