Praise
What a fabulous achievement! Not since Mary Renault has this kind of history come so alive and with such juice, energy, and excitement. I just know that my twelve-year-old self would have fallen on this like a . . . like a wolf on a lamb. Breathtaking adventure on every page, and just the kind of detail, color, and vitality that young readers adore. As does this old reader, I have to confess.
―Stephen Fry, actor, director, and author of Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology, volumes 1–4: Mythos, Heroes, Troy, and The Odyssey
A glorious mixture―of history, fiction, and thrilling legend, with pictures to swim the Hellespont for. ―Sebastian Faulks, journalist and acclaimed author of historical novels for adults, including Birdsong, Snow Country, and The Seventh Son
The Wolf-Girl, the Greeks, and the Gods is a wonder, as beautiful to look at as it is entrancing to read. Jason Cockcroft’s illustrations are jaw-dropping, and Tom Holland’s prose took me back to my own childhood introductions to these extraordinary mythological worlds in Roger Lancelyn Green’s Tales of the Greek Heroes and Leon Garfield’s and Charles Keeping’s The God Beneath the Sea.
―Frank Cottrell Boyce, screenwriter and author of Cosmic and Carnegie Medal winner Millions
Cloaked in mystery, sharp with danger, powerful in its bones, The Wolf-Girl, the Greeks, and the Gods is a modern myth of an ancient time that I wish I read as a boy, and will reread until I’m rickety and gray.
―Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Red Rising Saga
