'What did you do before you had a TV?' ..............
'We told stories.' People have told stories since ancient times........

Format:Paperback
This book shows you the funny side of Greek history and myths. All the stories are rewriten from an unusual point of view. There are also lists containing the top ten heros (among other things). This is a really good book!
