Here Comes Hercules!

When Tim Baker breaks his mum’s favourite vase, he releases Hercules into the modern world. The famous Greek hero means well, but heroic strength is not especially useful around an ordinary house, and Tim soon has to work out how to send his chaotic new companion back where he belongs.

Here Comes Hercules! opens Stella Tarakson’s Hopeless Heroes series, with illustrations by Nick Roberts. Written for readers aged seven and over, it uses comedy and time travel to introduce the legendary Hercules and the world of Greek mythology, offering an accessible first encounter with ancient stories through a deliberately modern adventure.
