From exploring the forgotten world of the Vikings, to discovering the
weird and wonderful mythological creatures that have inspired monster
stories, this series of books explores the subjects that all kids find
fascinating, and puts them into historical context. Journey into the
afterlife by exploring the tombs of warrior kings and mummies of
beautiful princesses, and read about how ordinary people were once put
to death for being called a witch. Read about the pioneers who set out
for a new life in the Wild West of America, and explore the cultures of
the Sioux, Blackfoot and other native American tribes they encountered
along the way. Each book contains hands-on step-by-step projects with
easy-to-follow photographs that show you how to dress like a medieval
lady, cook a cowboy meal, make Native American jewellery or create your
own Egyptian tomb paintings...and much, much more. With fabulous
photographs, illustrations and inside-view artworks, this stimulating
reference book collection is ideal for 8- to 12- year olds to use at
home and as school back-up for school projects.
