A thrilling voyage across the dangerous, beautiful landscape of Greek myth.

The young god is determined to have adventures from the very moment of his unusual birth, stealing sacred cows, discovering fire and inventing the lyre and flute. With his tumbling brown curls and cheerful fearlessness, he charms his fellow gods: mighty Apollo, mournful Artemis, beautiful Aphrodite, and even the king of the gods, his father, Zeus himself.He will drink the nectar of Olympus and discover the truth about the immortals, from their first moments and worst monsters to their greatest loves and most terrible battles- but Hermes won't let any of it distract him from that whole wide world of good fun...

Follow Hermes on 100 unforgettable journeys across the fascinating, colourful world of Greek mythology.

Industry Reviews

For the Greeks, Hermes was the god not only of thieves but also of lucky finds, and I'm going to count this fun-packed picaresque adventure novel as one of my own luckiest finds of 2014. -- Paul Cartledge No one does derring-do like the ancients... Charming Observer, Best Fiction for Christmas
