It's got shapes so smooth they'll slide off the page.

It's got textures so rough they'll slice through the whole book.

It's got circles and structures, tips and tricks.

It's got plenty more but you'll have to see for yourself!

Reviews for That Book series and

David Conley

 

A totally delightful, energetic and imaginative book. For lovers of the ancient world, young and old!

David Conley is a bigger legend than Odin and a bigger marvel than Marvel! He puts the Rock into Ragnarök and the Norse into Norsænivegavinnuverkfæraskúrinngullhringur!!!! This is how the Greeks would have illustrated their myths and legends and it's what the Norse gods really looked like! Trust me, I've asked them.

I loved reading his mythologies - though I had to build a wooden horse and hide inside it to sneak into my son's room to get the books off him to read them.

Did you know that the ancient Egyptians worshipped a bin chicken-headed god? That talented Dave Conley knows this and many other Egypt-related stuffs and they're all here in this book! Jam-packed (did the Egyptians eat jam? I don't know, ask Dave Conley!) with more illustrations than the inside of Tutankhamun's tomb, this is a MUST READ for anybody interested in papyrus, embalming, sand and pointy triangle buildings.

50% of the pair of Kate and Jol Temple, critically acclaimed authors of lots of books I really like.

 

Whenever Terry and I take our time-travelling rubbish bin for a spin through the ancient mythical lands of Greece or Midgard, we always take David Conley as our guide- and if he's not available then we take one of his books. He's the most knowledgeable expert on Greek and Norse mythological figures we've ever met, and we've met them all!
