The Historical Biographies series tells the life stories of key people from history, including the parts they played in shaping events, and how their lives touched other people. Each book introduces the person, tells where and when they lived, and explains why they are famous. Read about their family, childhood, friends, rivals, and enemies. Explore their achievements and discover how we know about them. Each book draws on primary sources and archaeology to support what we know. Boxes throughout the book give interesting insights into daily life - for those in power and for ordinary people as well. The boxes focus on clothes, food, buildings, toys, technology and change, and religion. |
