Over six-and-a-half feet tall, with a bushy beard, Philip Ardagh is not only very big but also very hairy. He is the author of the Eddie Dickens Trilogy and when not writing silly books, Mr. Ardagh is quite serious and frowns a great deal. He lives in a seaside town somewhere in England with his wife and their son, Fred.
We LOVE this series for history. The mystery at the end of each book is an ingenious method of review. The Aztec book in particular due to to their penchant for human sacrifice and strictly enforced law was the most brutal of the series.
