THE SILENT WARRIOR
Prince Reu was one who used power to extremes and like Hitler wanted to rule entire realms. It was the Silent warrior of Kedugou who brought him down to earth and by this victory over prince Reu federated the entire black continent of his days.King silence is a fictitious story based on real life of one that was West Africa's strongest man and warrior alive. His fame was sprawled throughout the region like wild fire. He was illustrious, rational, and benevolent and endowed with goodness and fair sense of universal justice. He would have been titled in today's jargons as 'Mr. World' for he was stronger than Atlas. Vassals from many parts of West Africa challenged his authority and failed miserably. His popularity and leadership gift enabled him galvanize the continent into a functional union serving its people. He was one that was guardian of African culture and custodian of its traditions. He was the quintessential African myth and symbol. Let us follow life of our warrior king of Kedougu.

Children will be enthralled by stories such as Lycaon, the wild man who became a wolf, and Pyramus and Thisbe, the love-struck pair who whisper through a crack in their adjoining wall. These are woven into Ovid's account of his last night in Rome, his dramatic journey across the seas, and the strangeness of his new world. Along the way, readers pick up Latin words and grammar and are encouraged to explore the connections between Latin and English, as well as the ways in which Ovid's stories still speak to us today.

Telling Tales in Greek
'I loved Greek myths and stories from a very young age, thanks largely to the Usborne Greek Myths and Legends, which my parents bought for me and my brother. I remember that it contained the most striking images and tales of strange creatures and vengeful gods. There was something unearthly and powerful about them, something that drew me in, and made me want to stay in that world to explore further. A ghostly Cerberus, a huge minotaur with twisting horns, the faces of gods and heroes, all these looked out at me from those pages and lured me inside.' - Lorna Robinson Telling Tales in Greek is narrated by the chatty and wily Greek hero Odysseus, who introduces readers to some of the best-loved...
