01About this book
Ten thousand years of history, one page at a time.
Seventeen chapters and 84 full-color illustrated topics, from the first people and the pyramids to knights, explorers and the moon landing. One big question answered on every page, for ages 6–12.
Seventeen chapters carry the story from the first people to the modern world, and it does not stop at Europe. Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome are here, and so are the Byzantine and Islamic worlds, the ancient Americas, the kingdoms of Africa and the golden ages of Asia, before the book reaches exploration, revolutions, machines and the moon landing.
Each of the 84 topics is a single page: one question at the top, a full-color illustration that makes the moment legible, and the answer alongside it. A fun fact sits on every page. The writing is clear enough for a six-year-old and detailed enough to keep a twelve-year-old reading.
It suits a child who wants to know what came before, and it gives an adult something to hand across when the questions start.
Who it is for
For a child between six and twelve who wants to know what happened, and for the adult fielding the questions.
How it reads
Each of the 84 topics is one page — question, picture, answer — so it reads a page at a time or a chapter at a time.
What is included
17 chapters and 84 full-color illustrated topics, from the first people to the moon landing, with a fun fact on every page.
