Most people know Hercules for being the greatest of the Greek heroes, with his super strength and monster-slaying ways. But once upon a time, Hercules was just a little boy. Sure, he defeated two venomous snakes when he was a little baby, and he completed the dangerous 12 Labours, but in lots of other ways, he was just like you. He had strict parents and an annoying little brother. This is his story.

Alex lives in Wiltshire, UK, with her husband, two young children and two rather grumpy rabbits called Batman and Robin.
