About this eBook
Cinderella, the almighty Zeus, and LEGO? Respectively, Brick Fairy Tales and Brick Greek Myths were both huge hits. Now, for the first time, both of these books are available in a beautiful box set with two thousand full-color photographs depicting your favorite fairy-tale characters and the almighty gods of Mount Olympus.
First, enter the magical world of fairy tales retold through LEGO bricks with Brick Fairy Tales. Filled with creative and whimsical settings built from this universally celebrated toy, the book presents an all-new retelling of the original Grimm’s fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel, and more! Watch the clock strike twelve as Cinderella leaves her glass slipper behind at the ball, and see just how long brick Rapunzel’s hair can grow as she waits in her tower.
Then, venture to Mount Olympus and meet the Greek gods as you have never seen them before in Brick Greek Myths. Watch Athena spring from the head of Zeus, and see Poseidon as he rules the seas with his mighty trident. Maintain hope with Pandora as her curiosity gets the best of her, and beware the Nemean lion as Hercules repents for his misdeeds.
Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
