Review
"Brilliant Brits is a fabulous series ... [with] colourful comic strip layout and amusing speech bubbles" (Times Educational Supplement, 13 June 2003 )

"...a great way to get your kids interested in history...A quirky blend of cartoon strip-style illustration and fascinating facts. Fun Stuff." (Sainsbury's Magazine )

"Brassey's colourful, comic-strip layout is easy to read and these attractive little paperbacks convey a surprising amount of information in a very palatable form." (Scotsman, 25 October 2003 )

"This attractive little paperback is part of a series which includes Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and...David Beckham. Who said you can't please all of the people all of the time? These are highly visual and very readable books, fact-packed yet fun." (Guardian Children's Books Supplement, Autumn 2003 )

Customer Reviews

Who thought history could be this fun?
Wow, surprised and amused by how interesting and fun this series is. Gave four to my 9-year-old Godson and he LOVES them. Many surprising and little-known facts woven in with lively pictures. So nice to be able to find something educating and entertaining in equal measure.
