Icarus

A beautiful and moving new adaptation of the classic myth of flight and freedom, with an original and uplifting ending.

In ancient Crete, Icarus is a dedicated and celebrated creator of beautiful buildings, but his success inspires the envy of the dastardly ruler of Crete, King Minos.

King Minos captures and imprisons Icarus, but with his skillful ingenuity, Icarus builds wings with which to escape his tower prison.

One night Icarus takes flight with his handmade wings and soars, flying ever closer - too close - to the Sun...

Icarus is soon transformed and he finds a happy new life - and love...

Award-winning author and artist Kagan Guner retells this classic myth with wonderful, imaginative twists and a new and hopeful ending.

The beautiful story is brought to life by his richly-coloured, evocative illustrations.

A timeless tale that will be loved by children and adults alike.
