Britannia
Illustrated by RICHARD BRASSEY
Our island's history is made up of the best stories from the very beginning
right up to our own times. Some of them are little more than legend and
have disappeared from the history books. Others that seem hard to believe
are absolutely true. 'Britannia' does not set out to be an accurate chronicle
of Britain's past, but to put the 'story' back into history.

Gilgamesh
- The Hero
Illustrated by DAVID PARKINS
This is the oldest story in the world - older than the Odyssey,
older that the Iliad, older even than the Bible.
And it's all about the things that matter most to us today: frienship, fame,
courage, happiness.

'Altogether a powerful
and classic retelling of the famous story, well within the
understanding of juniors and early teens.'
