Reviews

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ladybird history books are social history at it's best, from; I would estimate ages 8 to 14 for school use of simply to enjoy. They bring history alive for children, and are filled with fascinating information. As well as bringing alive an animated, exciting past, they also show how events of the past, are with us today, in so many fascinating ways
Alexander the Great, by L Du Garde Peach, traces the life of a man lived more than two thousand years ago, he was one of history's great soldiers, who created an Empire stretching from Macedonia to India.
The book traces his boyhood education by Aristotle, his military campaigns and conquests (with the aid of a map in the inner covers) and his Empire-building and trade.
It is both fascinating and educational , with superb illustrations by Andrew Kenny.

Lots of great illustrations of Alexander The Great doing stuff in 336 BC.

[Annette Witham · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick summary for an 8-12 year old. Illustrations and mapping help,
But very factual. Too much about battles, (almost a listing ) not enough about the man himself.
