Debéis saber que mi pasión por la lectura empezó hace mucho tiempo, cuando era pequeño... Y os he de confersar que, sobre todo, me fascinaban las peripecias legendarias de los dioses y los héroes de la mitología griega, luchando con monstruos y criaturas fantásticas. Algunas son divertidas; otras, osadas; ¡otras más hacen que los bigotes te vibren de emoción! Y todas nos enseñan algo sobre la lealtad, la valentía, la amistad, el ingenio... ¡Son historias antiguas que se pueden leer y releer sin cansarse nunca de ellas!
