Myths & Legends – 24-Door Calendar for Book Lovers

A hand-illustrated 24-door calendar of myths and legends: find 24 hidden doors and guess the hero, monster or tale behind each one.

Step into a great hall where the old stories live: a sword in a stone, a wooden horse, a hammer on the wall, a harp by the fire and a dragon skull above the hearth.

Hidden around the scene are 24 little doors: a tiny door is hidden on a shield, an urn, a tapestry, a scroll or the round table. Behind each one is a famous myth or legend, from Greek heroes to King Arthur, Robin Hood and the Norse gods. Every day for 24 days, find the door, open it and guess.

How it works

  1. Find the door. Search the picture for today’s number.
  2. Open it. A hand-drawn picture is waiting inside.
  3. Guess. Guess the hero, monster or story.
  4. Check the answers on day 24. All 24 tales, with where they come from, listed on an illustrated answer sheet in its own envelope.

Why readers adore it

  • Gods, heroes and monsters: Persephone, Icarus, Excalibur, Thor, Saint George and more.
  • Loved by every age: from myth-obsessed teens to grandparents who know their Greek.
  • Hand-illustrated artwork: a great hall with a hidden door on every shield and urn.
  • A gift for readers of fantasy and history: old stories, new tradition.
  • Screen-free and sugar-free: a daily quest.

Perfect for: Fans of Greek mythology and fantasy, history lovers, teachers, students and families who tell stories by the fire.

What’s included

  • 1 illustrated 24-door calendar, A4 landscape (21 × 29.7 cm / 8.3 × 11.7 in), with 24 perforated doors
  • 1 illustrated answer sheet
  • 1 illustrated “The Answers” envelope to keep the solutions secret until door 24

Good to know

  • The calendar contains no food or treats. Tales are drawn in a gentle storybook style, suitable for all ages.
  • The text is in English. Younger children may need a grown-up to help open the small paper doors.
