HEROES AND VILLAINS: POEMS ABOUT LEGENDS (PB)

An anthology of classic and contemporary poems from around the world, illustrated throughout in black and white by award-winning former Children's Laureate Chris Riddell. Heroes and Villains pays homage to glittering royal courts and journeys through ancient landscapes, meeting Arthur and Guinevere, the Queen of Sheba, Kubla Khan, Robin Hood, Joan of Arc, and Mulan along the way. Readers will also meet mythical beings such as the phoenix, yeti, dragon and kraken, as they leap from travellers' tales and compendiums into the world of verse.
