Media Reviews
'The glory of this series is the way it plunges children into the thick of history and beguiles them with the strangeness of another time' -- Books for Keeps 'A lively source of information and plenty of talking points' -- Carousel, Spring 2001 'The idea of the 'Look Inside' series is elegant... The format is generous with contemporary prints and photographs, and eyewitness quotations (many of them footnoted, something unique in a book for this age group)... And where there is rich evidence, the past emerges in all its complexity.' -- Books for Keeps 20030103
