Description
Battles and Quests
In
the time of war, of death and destruction, the world needs heroes.
Arthur. Theseus. Geriguiaguiatugo. Their names are whispered on the wind
– tales of epic quests, of furious battles, beasts slain and the glory
of victory . . .
Beasts and Monsters
In
the cold, dead eyes of the Banshee, and the hissing, spitting fangs of
the Gorgon; in the fiery breath of the dragon and the razor sharp claws
of the Sphinx – there is a thirst for blood and a murderous hunger. But
it is a time of heroes, and the teeth and claws of these hideous beasts
are no match for the lethal blades of such men . . .
Death and the Underworld
From
the pen of master storyteller Anthony Horowitz comes a new series of
myths and legends from around the world, retold in a contemporary voice,
and illustrated with bold, graphic artwork. Packed with Horowitz’s
signature action, humor, and suspense these collections feel fresh,
modern, and perfect for today’s fast-moving audience. When life is over,
and the conflicted souls of the dead wend their weary way down to the
underworld, what do they see? A three-headed dog with slavering jaws, a
bubbling swamp and a hangman’s noose, or simply darkness? From familiar
stories like the Greek myth of Orpheus, to lesser known tales like the
Viking legend of the poet Nornagest and his precious candle, or the
story of the Indian Princess Savitri who cheated death with nothing but
her smarts, this collection is full of characters who are brave enough
(or foolish enough) to cheat death and tell the tale.
The Legends Collection of 6 Books set by Anthony Horowitz is retold tales from around the world with battles and quests are the lifeblood of mythology.
