Publisher's Synopsis

From the brave warrior, Beowulf, to the resourceful castaway, Robinson Crusoe, to the skilled rider who became Alexander the Great, the young heroes take on great challenges and terrible villains, from ruthless Viking chiefs, to hideous monsters and terrifying giants. Retold in a lively and humorous style by Tony Bradman and accompanied by Tony Ross's distinctive illustrations, these stories are full of action and adventure to capture every child's imagination from the very first page.
