Hercules wants to be famous forever so he has to complete the tasks the King sets him. It won't be easy. In fact, Hercules will have to face some of the most terrifying and dangerous creatures that live on earth – and in hell!
Merlin has embedded a sword in a stone. The one who can pull it out will be the new king – and soon, that's Arthur! Join him as he battles giants and knights, and learns to be a true king.
Odysseus is a hero but all he really wants to do is defeat the Trojans and go home. The trouble is both those tasks will take a bit longer than he had hoped, and he'll need all his cunning to complete them.

ALMA JUNIOR CLASSICS FICTION
THE CLASSIEST CLASSICS
Alma Junior’s series of illustrated classics includes some of the greatest books ever written for younger readers, as well as new translations of unjustly neglected international works. Our aim is to give our list an international feel and offer young readers the opportunity to connect with other cultures and literatures – this applies not only to the titles we choose but also to the illustrators we commission – so that we can bring a bit of novelty into the canon of British children’s literature. All Alma Junior Classics contain extra material for young readers, including a profile of the author, a section on the book, a list of characters, a glossary and a testyourself quiz.
