Publisher's Synopsis
HEROES OF LEGEND
In this new collection, four classic heroes from mythology face new and dangerous challenges to prove once again their worthiness to claim the stature of legends. In the old world of the past, the Viking warrior Sigurd must battle overwhelming odds to attain Valhalla while Hercules travels to Africa to seek the aid of the Red Sorceress. Switching to the American frontier, the steel-driving man, John Henry encounters a blood-sucking monster ready to contaminate the West. Then Johnny Appleseed, the walking barefoot lad in his tin pot hat, comes to the aid of weary pioneers. Here are four imaginative adventures from the pens of Teel James Glenn, Elizabeth Freeman, Eric Esquivel, Harding McFadden and Iris Hawkins. All beautifully illustrated by artist Ron Hill.
