The Greek myths were first told thousands of years ago, by poets and singers who wanted to tell how the world came to be. These brilliant stories are full of adventure and drama, but they also explore our deepest fears and fantasies. There's a reason these myths still feel so powerful—they've formed the foundations of narratives and archetypes that we see in today. Having changed the way we look at fairy tales in their last book, Karrie and Jon have turned to these ancient stories to see what magic their marvellous gender-swapping machine can work on them.

People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change. They haven't rewritten the stories in this book. They haven't reimagined endings or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders.
