Description
THE KINGFISHER ATLAS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD features 17 beautiful, hand-illustrated maps and packed with fascinating information to feed children's interest in the ancient world. Clear, accessible text introduces the civilisation and its history before going on to describe interesting details about that culture's people and the objects and buildings they have left behind. Full-colour photographs add to each spread's appeal. In addition to the main spreads, a small number of feature spreads throughout the book focus more closely on a well-known civilisation, allowing readers to build on their interest and find out more about ever-popular topics such as the ancient Egyptians and imperial Rome.
