"Enchanting, breathtaking and beautiful... If you need me, I'll be in Storyland" - Ben Miller
ENTER A MAGICAL WORLD OF DRAGONS, GIANTS, HEROES AND MONSTERS RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP . . .
You will have heard of Thor, Medusa and Hercules. But what about the myths of the British isles? The Trojan heroes who wrestled giants. The Syrian sisters who found safety. The dragons who slept in hollow hills. And the kings who talked to the dead . . .
In this vivid and beautifully illustrated mythology of Britain, children will discover tales of magic and adventure, giants and demons, princesses and prophecies.
Travelling across the wildest of landscapes - as far north as Orkney and south as Cornwall - young readers will build Stonehenge with the young Merlin, 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.
This children's adaptation of Jeffs' bestselling Storyland, is a spell-binding adventure into Britain's lost myths and legends. With beautiful illustrations this is the perfect book for all the family.
