Kenny Curtis and Jillian Hughes, the creators of National Geographic Kids’ wildly successful podcast “Greeking Out,” are back to share the greatest feats and the funniest secrets of the gods and heroes of Greek mythology. Enjoy this kid-friendly retelling of classic ancient Greek myths for the whole family. These stories of heroic victories, perilous adventures and plain old mischief will delight kids and adults alike. Plus, fans of the “Percy Jackson” series will love discovering the real myths behind their favorite (and least favorite) characters.
Copies of all the “Greeking Out” books including the latest, “Tales from the Underworld,” will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and Curtis and Hughes will sign after the show.
About “Greeking Out: Tales from the Underworld”
Get ready for 20 bone-chilling stories of the Underworld — from ancient Greece and around the world —as told by the team behind the smash-hit podcast and New York Times best-selling book series.
Venture to the edge of life itself from the safety of your living room! In these stories, you’ll encounter a very ill-advised bid to kidnap the queen of the Underworld, an Egyptian god of death who weighs your heart against a feather, the treacherous and winding road to the Norse afterlife and much more. Tales of fearsome gods, fantastical monsters and literally death-defying heroes of the spirit world are told in the hilarious, kid-friendly voice that’s sent the “Greeking Out” podcast to the top of the charts.
As well as favorite frightening tales from Greek mythology, you’ll hear unforgettable stories from ancient Egypt, Scandinavia, Mesopotamia, the Philippines, China, Central America and more. Playful illustrations coupled with cheeky storytelling and real information about life (and death) in the ancient world — delivered by the all-knowing Oracle of Wi-Fi — make this collection of fabulous fables an essential addition to your library.
