Only the bravest dare to enter the gardens of the powerful goddesses of Greek myths!

In this must-have children's storybook collection, young readers will enter a world where goddesses command the seasons, trespassers turn into pigs, and every flower has a story.

Discover magic and mythology, fruits and flowers, in three exciting myths:

  • Descend into the underworld - and back again - with Persephone, the goddess of spring!
  • Join Echo as she finds her independence with the help of the goddess Nemesis!
  • Wash ashore on Circe's remote island, where a mighty sorceress turns men into beasts!

This enchanting introduction to mythology by Valerie Tripp will have ancient stories of goddesses and gardens leaping right off the page. Discover the magic, and experience the triumph firsthand!

With stunning, full-colour illustrations from Teresa Martinez and foil on the cover, Goddesses and Gardens promises to thrill a new generation of readers with bold heroines and fantastical flora - for a lifetime to come.
