This is an emotional, heart-warming & truly inspirational account of how a little boys dream of helping others changed the lives of millions & will probably make you take a look at yourself in the process. Even though Harry was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2007 at the age of 7 the book shows how he evolved his simple ideas & philosophy into a global entrepreneurial campaign using all the multi-media tools available to him including his beloved Twitter. The book emphasises that we can all achieve anything in life & "make It happen" if we believe in ourselves, as long as you are committed to your goals & are passionate about your dreams. Harry gripped the nation by making & selling beaded bracelets all by himself, with all the proceeds he raised going to charity. He also organised & arranged to meet CEOs of large organisations & did presentations at school assemblies & at large public events in front of the local & national media talking about his business ideas. All this was achieved through the face of adversity & fighting a dreadful disease himself & with this kind of determination nothing was unachievable for Harry. During his fight against brain cancer Harry befriended many people via his Twitter account including his peers & many famous celebrities from all over the world. When Harry sadly passed away in October 2011 he had raised a staggering GBP 650, 000 for his chosen charities but his legacy lives on & his dreams are now starting to become reality thanks to his mum & his army of followers who are kindly organising events in memory of brave Harry.

Architecture, art, sculpture, economics, mathematics, science, metaphysics, comedy, tragedy, drama & epic poetry were all devised & perfected by the Greeks. Of the four classical orders of architecture, three were invented by the Greeks & the fourth, the only one the Romans could come up with, was a combination of two of the former. The powerful ghost of ancient Greece still lingers on in the popular mind as the first great civilization & one of the most influential in the creation of modern thought. It is the starting block of Western European civilization. In his new Odyssey, eminent writer Harry Mount tells the story of ancient Greece while on the trail of its greatest son, Odysseus. In the charming, anecdotal style of his bestselling Amo, Amas, Amat & All That, Harry visits Troy, still looming over the plain where Achilles dragged Hector's body through the dust, & attempts to swim the Hellespont, in emulation of Lord Byron & the doomed Greek lover, Leander. Whether in Odysseus's kingdom on Ithaca, Homer's birthplace of Chios or the Minotaur's lair on Crete, Mount brings the Odyssey
- & ancient Greece
- back to life.
