Revue de presse

"These are the tales of the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, and Theseus' triumph and deception of Ariadne. They are retold in an informal and humorous way, with modern dialogue and idiom, but still keeping faith to the tales and moral dilemmas. Crafted by John Harris from his work as an oral storyteller, the liveliness of the language is an attention keeper. It would be suitable for 10 upwards for either independent reading or reading aloud in class. The cartoon-like illustrations add to the humour and have their own poignancy, providing an opportunity for discussion in relation to the text." --The Schools Librarian Magazine

Présentation de l'éditeur

Heartless, dishonest, greedy and a bully, of all the kings of Ancient Greece, Minos was probably the worst. Some people called him the creature of Crete, some people said he was a monster. The truth was even worse.. These are stories of cowardice, courage, cruelty and cleverness, retold in ways that are exciting, frightening and rather surprising.
