8 Brilliant Books featuring Heroes and Villains

Written By Esther Brown

Who are you favourite literary Heroes and Villains?

I found this a hard question to answer and was once again stumped by too many choices for my #8brilliantbooks theme!

There are some brilliant picture books and MG now that explore the idea of bravery and what it means to be a hero, subverting the traditional tale trope of a handsome Prince style 'rescuer' with immense physical strength.

I've featured 4 of these picture books and also 3 MG (2 classics) and a YA with some truly frightening villains to my #8brilliantbooks today. Do check out the hashtag on Instagram for more books on this theme.
