About the Author
Francesca Simon spent her childhood on the beach in California, and then went to Yale and Oxford Universities to study medieval history and literature. She now lives in London with her English husband, Martin, and their son, Joshua. When she is not writing books she is doing theatre and restaurant reviews or chasing after her Tibetan Spaniel, Shanti. Tony Ross is one of the most popular and successful of all children's illustrators, with many picture books to his name as well as line drawings for many fiction titles.
From the Inside Flap
A magic coin whisks Susan back in time to Ancient Greece, where she encounters the gods, goddesses and heroes of Greek mythology.
Susan is fed up with her family and hates helping in the house, but she soon finds that helping Hercules clean out the Augean stables is much, much worse than tidying her room. She is drawn into a series of hair-raising adventures, following Orpheus down into the Underworld, helping Paris as he dithers between three angry goddesses, riding on the winged horse Pegasus to the home of the gods, and narrowly missing being turned to stone by Medusa.
Francesca Simon, author of the Horrid Henry books, loves the Greek myths and gives seven of her favourites a highly original twist in this fabulously funny story.
Francesca Simon is American, and lives in London with her English husband and their son Joshua. She grew up in California, was educated at Yale and Oxford Universities, and then became a freelance journalist, writing theatre and restaurant reviews. After Josh was born she started to write books for children. Her Horrid Henry books are enormously popular.
Tony Ross is one of the best-known and most popular children's illustrators, who writes and illustrates his own picture books as well as illustrating many favourite storybooks for other authors. He has worked with Francesca Simon on all the Horrid Henry books.
