Description
This beautifully retold children's book brings to life the stories of the ancient world. Herodotus is often referred to as the 'Father of History' due to his writing of the first history book in the world.
Herodotus was a keen traveller who went on extensive journeys throughout the ancient world, gathering information and insights that he later shared with others. His stories are now retold for future generations to benefit from their wisdom and cultural richness.
This book is an accessible introduction to Herodotus' stories, which include accounts of famous events such as the Battle of Thermopylae. It is suitable for supporting Key Stage 2 curriculum requirements.
