HEAR SAMPLE

Seven favourite Greek myths are given a highly original twist in this fabulously funny story by the author of the Horrid Henry books .

Susan is fed up with her family, but when a magic coin whisks her back in time to Ancient Greece, she finds that life with the gods and goddesses is much trickier. She is drawn into a series of hair-raising adventures, helping Hercules clean out the Augean stables, following Orpheus down into the Underworld, riding the winged horse Pegasus and narrowly missing being turned to stone by the gorgon Medusa.

Mark Perry was part of the original Dead Ringers team on BBC Radio 4, and transferred with it to television. He also voices the hit animated series 2D-TV . He has impersonated a wide range of sports and political characters for other radio programmes, and has acted on stage and TV in everything from Godspell to J. B. Priestley's Dangerous Corner . For Orion Audiohooks he also reads The Soddit by Adam Roberts .
