Synopsis

From the best-selling author of Horrible Histories... Mesopotamia, 2500 years ago Everyone in the tribe must work; all the men go hunting for bulls and mountain lions - apart from Sin-leqi, that is. Sin-leqi stays home and reads tablets in the great temples. The tablets tell tales of the legendary Gilgamesh, tales that are so fantastical that lazy Sin-leqi doesn't have to work, as long as he keeps telling them. But when the story comes to end, Sin-leqi is in trouble... A brand new and exciting tale, based on real historical and archaeological evidence, this story is full of Terry Deary's imaginative style and dry wit. Book band: Grey

Media Reviews
From the master of historical non-fiction and fiction Terry Deary himself, well-known for writing the Horrible Histories series, comes the latest offering in his Tales series - Stone Age Tales... Thoroughly enjoyable whilst providing a glimpse in to our past, they are the first choice of books I think about to complement any history topic in school. * The Reader Teacher, @MrEPrimary *
All the stories are imaginatively written, have plenty of accurate historical detail based on real evidence, and illustrations which really do add to the setting. The writing style is pacy and there's plenty of action to hold children's attention. * Parents in Touch *
