In the book Helden by Daan Remmerts de Vries you meet them all, the Greek heroes of long ago. These are not Marvel heroes or other made-up super beings, but people who really lived, in ancient Greece. Their stories have been written down and preserved.
Daan Remmerts de Vries has adapted these stories for children and they are just as funny, beautiful and exciting as the original ones. Magical and also terrible creatures appear (Did they really exist? Surely not! :)) and they often have to be fought, so the heroes experience the most exciting adventures.
Sebastiaan van Doninck's brilliant illustrations add a lot to the appeal of this book. They are beautifully coloured, modern and classic at the same time and perfectly matching these great stories!
3+ forever brilliant shining stars for Helden (Heroes), from our young and older readers!
