A fascinating read for anyone aged 9/10+ years who is curious about the myths and stories that have shaped Britain. A page or two at the end of each chapter help to explore the real history influencing each story and put each story in it's historical context. Leaving plenty to explore and discuss.

You wil have heard of Thor, Medusa and Hercules. But what about the myths of the British landscape? The Trojan heroes who wrestled giants. The Syrian sisters who found refuge on our lands. The dragons who slept in hollow hills. And the kings who commune with the dead..

Travelling across the wildest of landscapes - as far north as Orkney and south as Cornwall - you will build Stonehenge with young Merlin, chase hounds up the mountains of Wales, ride stags into the forests of Scotland and sail with Trojans along the rivers of Britain, discovering a land steeped in myth, monsters and heroes.

The story is beautifully illustrated with Black and White illustrations.
