From a prize-winning author and illustrator comes this wonderfully rich and varied collection of fifteen stories from Roman mythology, freshly retold and made accessible for today's young readers. Here are all the famous myths from the birth of Venus to the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus. The great gods and goddesses, including Jupiter, Mars and Diana, are brought vividly to life by Emma Chichester Clark's beautiful illustrations that perfectly reflect the liveliness of Geraldine McCaughrean's retellings.
