From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named 'the outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th century' by Books For KeepsIdeal for readers aged 7+Mesopotamia, 2500 years agoEveryone 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.
