Don't mess with the gods. And if they mess with you? Run like hell . . .
When it comes to mixing it up with the Gods, woe be to the man (or woman) who makes them angry. Legends: The Wrath of the Gods by Anthony Horowitz is a collection of five stories that demonstrates just how angry those Gods can get. From creative re-tellings of the Greek stories Pandora's Box, The Judgment of Paris, and Narcissus and Echo, to less familiar but equally cautionary Viking story of The Stolen Hammer of Thor, and the Inuit legend of The Ten Fingers of Sedna, one thing is clear--it never pays to mess with the Gods!
Gorgons, Banshees, Dragons, Spinxes, Sea Monsters-where would a hero be without a monster to conquer? Legends: Beasts and Monsters by Anthony Horowitz pulls together the baddest beasts in story and song along with fast-moving action, plenty of fighting, and a good dose of gruesome gore. The moody graphics add just the right punch of drama. From the Dragon who fought Saint George, to the Sphinx's Riddle, Medusa' magnificent hair, the epic heroism of Perseus' many battles and more, this is the ultimate tour of mythology's fantastic beasts.
King Arthur would have been just another king if he was content to just sit at home. And Rome would never have been founded if Remus had won the famous battle instead of his brother. From the epic defeat of the Minotaur to the fierce legends of the Inca, battles and quests are the lifeblood of mythology, and Legends: Battles and Quests by Anthony Horowitz thrusts readers right into the heart of some of the best (and bloodiest) adventure stories from around the world.

The battle between good and evil has raged throughout time, in every corner of this world and the next. Some have fought using their superior strength, and some their wit and cunning. Legends: Heroes and Villains features some epic favorites on both sides like Hercules, Theseus, and Polyphemus the Cyclops, and other less-familiar but equally fierce opponents like Polynesian trickster Maui, and Grendel of Beowolf. No matter if they fight with speed, skill, or sheer determination, they all have one thing in common: they will fight each other to the death.
