This is the fourth volume in a gripping series of adventure stories in which the intrepid Binkerton children grapple with a different period in history. In Adventures in Ancient Greece the Binkerton trio want to see the next Olympic Games, but instead end up watching the sports in Ancient Greece! But this is not simply an entertaining narrative: the comic strip story provides a wealth of information about the period - thanks to the Good Times Travel Agency guide book, which accompanies the children on their adventure. The guide book provides a running commentary on the time in history, providing the reader with all kinds of well-researched information about the social system, everyday way of life, boats, buildings, clothing and food of the time.
