“I’ve always loved myths and legends but some of the versions that I read … tended to be a bit dry. That is to say, they didn’t have many jokes. There wasn’t enough blood. … It was a bit like walking around a museum, looking at dusty relics behind glass cases with “Do Not Touch” signs all over the place. [So] I made two decisions. First of all, I would have fun. I would try to write the stories as if they were being told for the first time. And … I wouldn’t just tell the stories that everyone knew.” –Anthony Horowitz
