The Dragon's Teeth: Greek Beasts And Heroes Bk09

Description

At last, Troy seems within reach for Atticus the Storyteller, who has been travelling through the ancient world, gathering new friends and stories to share. Now he needs a ship - which isn't easy, so he's heard. But luckily, he soon finds a willing captain and in return for a story - or two - secures his safe passage. Among the stories in THE DRAGON'S TEETH are the tales of two of the greatest heroes that ever were: Jason (and his Argonauts, in search of the Golden Fleece) and Paris (who is in search of the fairest goddess of them all). A spirited collection full of daring and adventure, vividly illustrated in full-colour.
