Reviews

This book is just great, ideal for any young historian! I almost wish I was back in primary school myself; a project on the Ancient Egyptians using a book like this would be easy. Packed full of relevant clearly written facts and information, supported by simple illustrations and humorous annotations, it makes for a great classroom resource. The basic map and timeline include enough details to be relevant and informative without appearing overwhelming. An easy to read contents page and each short chapter / section is clearly labelled and numbered, the addition of an index and glossary would make it even better. This book is one of a pair, the other is very similar in format and introduces the Ancient Romans.
