★ The series is not only an adventure of imagination, but also incorporates illustrated encyclopedic knowledge of history and mind training games into the story!
★ Uli and Penny are cousins who attend Gino Road High School in Otranto. The school library which has some very special history books is managed by the somewhat strange Professor Sangallo. Uli and Penny get lost in those books, and become time travelers, maybe with their imagination, maybe not. The adventure begins!
Endless adventures of women, men, peoples and nations who occupy a period of history, though a short one, on our planet in the long course of time. Kings and queens, princes and princesses, parents and sons, warriors and peasants, villains and heroes, good and evil, idols and gods, demons and holy water ... and the elapsing of years. Always different, and always the same.
★ The stories of Uli and Penny come from different writers, and are therefore different in each story. Stories and characters depend on the writer's sensibility, so they are unique. It doesn't hurt if the main characters differ in dispositions and details. That's the charm of diversity! The important thing is when the stories end, readers are entertained anf moved, and perhaps there will be pieces of the stories accompanied with us through time.

Four books included in the series: The Arrogant Pharaoh of Egypt, the Romans of Gaul and the Stolen Flag, Odyssey by Penelope, The Gods of Olympus.

The ancient Greek shepherd Uli broke the flute given by the god Pan. To solve the problem and avoid Pan's wrath, he was tricked wickedly by Hermes into stealing the dark helmet of the god Hades…Fortunately, there was Penny, who helped Uli as the nymph Melite…
