From two acclaimed British comedians, a humorous retelling of the classic tales of Theseus for young readers. After being saved from death as a baby, Theseus went on to be educated by Daedalus and coached by Hercules. He fought the Great Tosser, fell into the clutches of Pine Bender and duffed up his Uncle Laius. He even managed to visit the Underworld. Oh—he killed a minotaur as well. All in the space of this book! Theseus certainly was some hero! Or was he? Theseus: The King Who Killed the Minotaur is the final instalment in a humorous three book series retelling some of the great Greek myths. Other books include Odysseus: The Greatest Hero of Them All and Odysseus: The Journey through Hell.

Your paper round will never seem as bad again!The Worst Jobs in History takes you back to the days when being a kid was no excuse for getting out of hard labour. This book tells the stories of all the children whose work fed the nation, kept trains running, and put clothes on everyone's backs, over the last few hundred years of Britain's history. No longer will you have to listen to your parents, grandparents, uncles, neighbours, and random old people in the Co-op telling you how much harder they had it in their day. Next time you find yourself in that situation, ask them if they were a jigger-turner or a turnip-picker in their young day. No? An orderly boy, perhaps? A stepper? Maybe they spent their weekends making matchboxes? Still no? Then they have no idea about the real meaning of hard work. With profiles and testimonies of real kids in rotten jobs, this book will tell you things you probably didn't want to know about the back-breaking, puke-inducing reality of being a child in the past.
