Ludicrous Legends: A Hilariously Wacky Illustrated Fiction Series That Reimagines Myths And Folklore, For Fans Of Horrible Histories!

Ludicrous Legends by John Kent is a laugh-out-loud junior fiction series that cheerfully remixes Greek myths into an illustrated read kids will race through. With punchy jokes and lively pictures, it’s ideal for building confidence in 7–10-year-old readers who like their history and mythology served with a side of silliness.

Hector and his best mate Hylo (who happens to be a centaur) are facing a mythology test from their teacher, Mr Socrates. As they swot up, the pair stumble into three famous legends: the Minotaur, the Trojan Horse (with a delightfully odd twist), and Medusa — whose snake-hair has very strong opinions.

Perfect for fans of funny books, mythology retellings, and Horrible Histories-style humour, especially readers who enjoy quick chapters and cartoon-style illustrations.

Add it to the bookshelf for a bright, mischievous take on classical legends.
