Product Description
This title includes fifteen stories from Roman mythology by prize-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean, read by Andrew Sachs. In this wonderfully rich and varied collection, Geraldine McCaughrean vividly retells the most famous Roman myths. Here are all the classic stories, including the birth of Venus and the founding of Rome by twin brothers Romulus and Remus. Find out how the Sibyl of Cumae predicted the future of the city - for a price, and learn how the sacred geese saved the city from the Gauls and how the Sabine women prevented a war. Here too are the great gods and goddesses, brought vividly to life: Jupiter, king of the gods, Juno his wife, warrior Mars, Mercury the messenger, Diana the goddess of hunting, as well as the lesser gods and goddesses who controlled every part of Roman life.Lively, entertaining and accessible, these amazing retellings make the ancient world live again, and transform the old legends into unforgettable stories of suffering and joy, disaster and triumph.

Format:Audio CD
A brilliant way for reluctant readers to learn about the Roman Myths. It will bring all those Roman Gods and Godesses to life and capture the listener's imagination. In our house there is an ongoing quiz between the kids as to who can tell the most info about the various Gods! Who'd have thought!!

This was great for year 3 children to listen to as part of "Myths and Legends." There is alot of detail in the stories, which lend themselves to many "Visual Litercay," activities. Read more
