The Adventures of Hermes, God of Thieves by Murielle Szac

The Adventures of Hermes, God of Thieves by Murielle Szac

Follow Hermes on 100 unforgettable journeys through the world of Greek mythology

Hermes is determined to have adventures from the very moment of his unusual birth. With his tumbling brown curls and cheerful fearlessness, he charms his fellow gods: mighty Apollo, mournful Artemis, beautiful Aphrodite, and even the king of the immortals himself, Zeus.

Carried by his winged sandals, Hermes travels all over his magical world, full of fearsome monsters and terrible battles, but never forgets to have fun along the way...
