FISHES’ CLAWS & DINOSAUR PAWS
What happens when a boy meets a very hungry witch. . . when an old man discovers some musical little people . . . when fire monsters try to keep the world feeling icy . . . ?
Prepare to step into a world of witches, thieves, dragons, kings   and  some   serious  silliness!





INVADE  &  SETTLE,  RAID  & MEDDLE
The  Vikings  and  the  Anglo  Saxons; some  of the meanest and most menacing mad men that the world  had   ever  seen.  They  invaded,  they  settled,  they  raided  and  they  meddled . . . But what they did best was to tell stories.  Meet  the  super  hero Beowulf,  the  cruel  King Nidud,  foolish  Frodi  and  many others.



THE KINGS OF ANCIENT GREECE
King Midas...King Sisyphus... King Minos...These three kings were the craziest, cleverest and cruelest of all of the kings of Ancient Greece. Their stories tell  the  tales  of  Heracles, Pegasus, Icarus, the dreaded Minotaur  and  many more famous mythical characters.
