What a joy!

As Steven Fry’s other book ‘Mythos’, again a joy to read. Love his writing style and appreciate how Steven just gives us the stories and does not try to explain or find deeper meanings or whatever, it’s just the stories and so well done! A book that I will re-read regularly. So much information and great sense of humour. Love it. Highly recommended, as well as ‘Mythos’. Great books!

Oh I wish this was based on something by Robert Graves - but this is not it

The need to intersperse the topic with "entertaining" dumbing down for the groundlings with titbits of salaciousness spoils this. A fan of Mr Fry I am not especially but I did hope that this would not get in the way. One hoped on a more focused on the topic and less on allowing personality to ooze fourth.

Probably should listen/ read Mythos to understand a little of the background

So much better than Mythos which I also enjoyed, but at times felt like a shopping list of names. This is all about the stories told and explained in away which takes you there. Totally love it listening to it again...
