Overview
This five-book collection brings together Gary Northfield's uproarious Julius Zebra series, following a fast-talking, not-a-horse zebra through the ancient world. Snatched from an African watering hole, Julius and his friends Milus the lion and Cornelius the warthog are hurled into gladiatorial combat in Rome, then swept into chaos across Britain, Egypt, and Greece. Packed with slapstick humor, cartoon-style illustrations, and solid historical detail, the series has won over reluctant readers and history buffs alike. This paperback set also includes the bonus Joke Book Jamboree, adding even more puns and giggles.

About the Books
Gary Northfield's Julius Zebra books turn ancient history into slapstick comedy, collecting the four core adventures plus a bonus joke book. Julius, a zebra who hates being called a "stripy horse," is captured on the savanna and shipped to Rome to fight as a gladiator alongside Milus the lion and Cornelius the warthog. Their misadventures sprawl across the Mediterranean: a rowdy trip to Britain, a shipwreck in Egypt that gets Julius mistaken for a horse-god, and a journey into Greek myth full of monsters. Each book stands alone, so new readers can jump in anywhere. Northfield's scribbly cartoon art keeps the pace fast while real historical detail slips in unnoticed. The Joke Book Jamboree rounds out a giggle-filled crash course in ancient history.
