Synopsis:

This collection of historical biographies geared toward 8-14 year olds presents the lives of ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary deeds during the Ancient time period. Illustrated with stunning portraits, this inspiring compilation of stories describes with historical accuracy and age-appropriate content the quality character and unbending determination of Eve, Noah, Gilgamesh, Imhotep, Daniel, Cyrus the Great, Eratosthenes, and Constantine.

Review: "Terri Johnson and her contributing authors have done it again! What Really Happened in Ancient Times is a compilation of stories which bring ancient history a little closer to home. From Eve to Constantine, fascinating tales are woven together to give us a better idea of what may have taken place so long ago. Historical records often only afford mere glimpses into the lives of those who lived thousands of years before us. By weaving what information we have available into colorful stories, ancient history comes alive! I love the illustrations in this volume, and of course, the map illustrations are second to none!" - Gena Suarez, Publisher, The Old Schoolhouse(r) Magazine
