James Riordan
The mythological Greek epic of Jason and the Golden Fleece is retold here with a bold new vision. Inspired after following the hero's route to Batumi, author James Riordan bases his tale on the first-recorded full version written by Apollonius of Rhodes. This account sheds a more positive light on the character Medea.The heroic characters and high adventure in this picture book will appeal to both boys and girls, as will Jason Cockcroft's inspired artwork, which mixes Ancient Greek vase pastiche and high realism.
