What is Hermes Tricks the Gods and Other Greek Myths about?

Mischievous Hermes is barely born before he begins causing trouble. With quick thinking, cheeky tricks and a talent for getting out of danger, he challenges his powerful brother Apollo and leaves the gods astonished. This lively collection also retells the moving stories of Apollo’s loves and the tragic tale behind the phrase “halcyon days”. Geraldine McCaughrean brings ancient Greek myths to life with humour, drama and memorable characters, while Tony Ross’s lively illustrations add to the fun.
