About the Author
Lesley dreamed of being a writer, but studied law as her mother insisted she had "something to fall back on". Since joining Usborne Publishing, she has written and edited hundreds of books, from funny rhyming stories to an award-winning history book. Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.

Reviews
Just the right present for young children. * Shetland Times *
There are many versions of the myths for children out there, but I was particularly wowed by the beautiful illustrations in this one. My seven year-old loved the gore... Perfect bedtime reading for the not-so-squeamish. * The Guardian *
