Come along for an afternoon of fun and frivolity as we celebrate the launch of Ludicrous Legends! This hilariously wacky graphic novel is a collaboration between international award-winning author Jol Temple and award-winning writer and illustrator David Conley, and reimagines myths and folklore. If your kids are fans of Horrible Histories, they will love Ludicrous Legends.Hector and his best friend, a centaur named Hylo, are about to be tested on Greek mythology by their teacher Mr Socrates. Join them as they come to grips with the mighty Minotaur, the famous Trojan Horse/Cow, and the terrifying Medusa whose snake-hair is definitely not keen on a haircut.
A ludicrous, light-hearted and very loose retelling of three classical legends.
