Mesopotamia, 2500 years ago

Everyone 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.
