Seven favourite Greek myths are given a highly original twist in this fabulously funny story by the author of the Horrid Henry books .

Susan is fed up with her family, but when a magic coin whisks her back in time to Ancient Greece, she finds that life with the gods and goddesses is much trickier. She is drawn into a series of hair-raising adventures, helping Hercules clean out the Augean stables, following Orpheus down into the Underworld, riding the winged horse Pegasus and narrowly missing being turned to stone by the gorgon Medusa.

Mark Perry was part of the original Dead Ringers team on BBC Radio 4, and transferred with it to television. He also voices the hit animated series 2D-TV . He has impersonated a wide range of sports and political characters for other radio programmes, and has acted on stage and TV in everything from Godspell to J. B. Priestley's Dangerous Corner . For Orion Audiohooks he also reads The Soddit by Adam Roberts .

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
