An epically funny novel to horrify good children and delight the wicked ones, R.A. Spratt's take on the classic text is as full of cake, mockery and mirth as you'd expect.

Here Odysseus is, of course, a beautiful female pig; the sea sirens tempt sailors with bowls of chocolate cake batter; and a forbidden sausage sizzle on the island of Thrinacia has most disastrous results . . .

The perfect book for before bed, avoiding homework, or for the times you've been told to reflect on your morals, and you need empirical evidence that grown-ups, and gods, all behave far worse than you ever have.
