Eight classic stories from ancient Greek mythology, retold for children age 7-up, from the point of view of the heroines.
This beautifully illustrated anthology puts eight remarkable women from Greek mythology centre stage. Written in the first person, ‘She Speaks’ gives these heroines the opportunity to finally tell us their stories in their own words. You’ll meet Pandora, the first ever woman; Medusa, the snake-haired woman they called a monster; Ariadne, the Cretan princess who cracked the code of the Labyrinth; Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, whose quest for love started a war; Medea, the sorceress who helped the argonauts steal the Golden Fleece; Atalanta, the huntress faster than any man in Greece; Penthesilea, the Amazonian warrior queen; and Circe, the witch-queen who turned men into pigs.
