Review:
' ... the hundred or so pictures in this short booklet are superbly chosen and used. ... The text is intelligent and clear, with a huge amount of information fitted in to a few words. ... I really cannot recommend it too highly.' History Teaching Review 'This book is suitable for children ten years and over. It is easy to read, understandable and has a lot of colour pictures inside.'
