This glossy-page book is resplendent with exquisite paintings from prominent artists, cleverly combined with a chronological commentary by Phip Murray, perfectly suited to younger children.
Its pages are also splashed with interesting facts and figures, totally cute speech bubbles, coloured typeface, cartoons and even a French phrase or two.
Fascinating for its historical content but also for its beauty, this is delectable tome makes history more than approachable and more than fascinating for kids aged 8+.
Gorgeous.
