A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience.

Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Brought to you by Penguin.
The number one best seller.
An epic battle that lasted 10 years. A legendary story that has survived thousands.
Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice....
When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.
Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

The Best of Troy
Again a great recount of the popular story. Great narration by the author SF. As Myths and Heroes is bringing the classical to a modern era without losing the essence of the story.

Stephen fry, you are a marvel.
Following up on Stephen's previous books on the series, I am still drawn like a moth to a flame to his exquisite performance and storytelling. My already strong love for Greek history and myth only grow stronger. Thank you so much. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Fry and Homer 10/10
Perfect, flawless, marvelous.
Highly recommend this volume and his two preceding volumes of Mythos and Heroes.
Can't wait for Fry to tackle the Odyssey.

another amazing book
just another amazing book by Stephen Fry who by all means should be granted Greek citizenship.
not only it makes a very well-told story compelling but his own performance in narrating this book makes it worthwhile to read and read again or listen and listen again

Good old stories
Having learnt about the old Greeks in primary school this book provides a perfect retelling of the stories refreshes my memories.
Having listened to Mythos, Heroes and now Troy, I am waiting impatiently for the next book. That would be the Odyssey.

Fry does it again!
One cannot have higher expectations when listening to Stephen Fry and Troy, given his very exciting Mythos and Heroes books. Mr. Fry delivers and exceeds the expectations set by his previous successes in my opinion. His delivery is bar none and his take on the mythology/history is truthful and, for someone that is truly knowledgeable on the subject, his opinion is very much appreciated.
Highly recommended audiobook for everyone!
