“This is the only history book I read from beginning to end. And understood it.”

 Zara Simonian, aged 12

 

“Even I learned things I didn’t know.”
 Hrad Simonian

 

“It’s history without pain.”
 Celia Macpherson

 

“This is a gem that illuminates. I love the way writer and illustrator have worked together  to produce an accessible panoramic history. I learnt a lot of new things. It's written very  cleverly to be easy reading across the age spectrum and that style clearly works.”
 Lawrence Day
